New Masters in Education with Leadership Degree Open For Applications

Whitehorse – The Applied Arts Division at Yukon College is considering offering a second graduate cohort program, Master of Education in Multidisciplinary Leadership with a possible start date of January, 2011.  Applicants require a four year undergraduate degree. This can be in any discipline. This is a three-year part-time program, offered weekends through the fall and winter semester and more intensive courses in the spring/summer semester.  As this program is run as a cohort, each course will be offered in sequence.

Please note that our ability to offer this program is dependent on student numbers.   

The Multidisciplinary Leadership specialization is designed to prepare graduates to take on roles of responsibility or leadership in a number of educational or community environments.

Here are the forms you need to apply:

1)         Application to UNBC:  http://www.unbc.ca/assets/graduateprograms/current/process_forms/appl_for_admission_august_2010.pdf

3)         Three references: Professional references are just fine if you have been out of school for awhile, otherwise include both.  (An assessment form is the same as a referee form). http://www.unbc.ca/assets/graduateprograms/forms/assessment_form.pdf

4)         Original transcripts for your undergraduate degree: in a sealed envelop and sent to the Registrar at Yukon College.

If you are interested in exploring other options for electives (possibly 2 or 3 depending on your program), please indicate this. Elective options are also possible at other universities in western Canada through the Western Deans’ Agreement.

6)     A $90.00 application fee is paid at Admissions, Yukon College.  This fee will be returned if the program is not offered.

7)     Be sure to provide an email address when you apply.

All application documents come Yukon College. Both the UNBC application fee and the Yukon College application fee are paid at Admissions at Yukon College. 

The review date for this M.Ed. program is Friday, October 22.  You should have a complete application at Yukon College by that date.

If you have international transcripts there will be an additional fee required by UNBC to have them processed.  I can advise on this later.
