The University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Education has a long history of graduate education, dating to 1936 when the first Master of Education (MEd) was awarded. Since then, nearly 3,000 students have graduated from our graduate programs. In a typical year, 350 students are enrolled in our MEd program and 60 students are enrolled in our PhD program. One considerable benefit of many of our graduate programs is flexibility. Consequently, 86 per cent of our students choose to complete their MEd on a part-time basis while working in the field as teachers, administrators and consultants. As an added benefit to our diverse population of graduate students, our Faculty of Education offers numerous courses in the evening and during the summer months. In addition to our excellent programs, we are also known as an advanced educational research institute.
