• Thesis route – Students complete 27 credit hours of course work and a 9 credit hour thesis in the thesis route. Note: Once 15 credit hours (including the 2 core courses: 07.752 & 07.714) have been successfully completed, the student, in consultation with the department chair, may submit an application to move forward into the Thesis route for the Master of Education program.

The Inclusive Education specialization prepares educators to be school leaders in the practice of inclusive education and resource implementation. The program emphasizes a disability lens to understand and undo difference, stigma, and to support current positive inclusive practices. This specialization was formerly titled Special Education and, in addition to a Master of Education degree, this program aligns with the requirements for the Manitoba Inclusive Education Certificate.
