We are thrilled to announce the launch of two new Master of Education programs at Cape Breton University!

With a Master of Education in Critical Curriculum Studies, students will explore foundational and emerging curriculum ideas, critically reflecting on their impact on contemporary schools and societies, and understand how they shape teaching, learning, curriculum and pedagogy.

The Master of Education in Holistic School Health and Well-Being will equip educators with the practical skills they need to effectively implement inclusive education, adapt to the changing needs of students, and create thriving, supportive learning environments.
