Master of Education - Educational Studies - Gerontology - (Thesis)

The Faculty of Education at Lakehead University offers a Master of Education program designed to meet students' professional and academic goals and interests.

Lakehead University's Master of Education (MEd) program provides students with a unique learning opportunity, which addresses the current landscape of both education and research. This program consists of two distinct fields of study, Educational Studies and Education for Change.

The Educational Studies field offers students the opportunity to earn their Master's of Education while studying educational research, theory, and practice in a variety of educational contexts, as well as the chance to specialize in Gerontology or Women's Studies.

All class sizes are small, giving students the opportunity to interact with classmates, instructors, and other faculty members.

The Educational Studies field refers to a wide range of educational research, theory, and practice within formal, non-formal, and informal contexts. This is a dynamic field of study in areas such as educational sociology, philosophy, psychology, law, policy, leadership, measurement, assessment, and curriculum content areas such as mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies, to name a few.

The Gerontology program actively collaborates with the Faculty of Education to provide students with an innovative, interdisciplinary learning perspective. They have the opportunity to access multifaceted resources and work together with complementary disciplines.

Research and theory in Gerontology is reviewed, and the thesis or portfolio, where applicable, is taken in the collaborating academic unit and must have a gerontological focus.
