The Faculty of Education offers a unique graduate option you won't find anywhere else. Our graduate off-campus program and cohorts in education are unique partnerships with teachers and community organizations where we design graduate programs to meet their specific needs.
This allows groups who work together to pursue graduate studies together in order to build a network of expertise in a subject area their organization has identified.

- An Holistic Approach to Education through Peace (Educational Foundations)
- Curriculum Integration of Technology (Curriculum Studies: General Studies)
- Foundations of Leadership (Educational Foundations)
- Literacy and New Technology (Literacy Education)
- Literacy and Numeracy (Literacy Education)
