Timeline – Part-time students must complete the MEd degree within five years of initial registration. Full-time students must complete the degree within four years of initial registration.
Credit hours – All students in the MEd must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of study. Students may be required to complete more than the minimum of 30 credit hours depending on the programme of study developed in consultation with the student's advisor.
Required courses – ED 6902 Introduction to Research is required for all programme areas. Each area of study stipulates additional required courses. As well in each area there are two groups of courses, Cluster A and Cluster B. Students must complete courses from these clusters as directed in each option and each area of study.
Course approval – The courses planned for a student's program must be approved by the Associate Dean, Graduate Programs, Faculty of Education, and subsequently by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
Minimum performance – Candidates whose academic performance is less than satisfactory will be asked to withdraw. Unsatisfactory academic performance includes a course mark below C and a cumulative grade point average below 3.0.
M.Ed Programme Option Requirements
Course-work Option – Students following the course route must complete a minimum of ten (10) term courses. No more than two (2) of these courses may be at the advanced undergraduate level.
Project/report Option – Students following the project with report route must complete a minimum of eight (8) term courses and successfully complete and defend a project. Only one (1) of these courses may be at the advanced undergraduate level.
Normally the project with report is considered to be the equivalent of 6 credit hours (two term courses at the 6000 level); however, in some situations, greater weight may be attached to the project and fewer term courses will be required.
The project with report is intended to fulfill the requirement for a significant and independent piece of scholarship. It must be based on the work of the student under supervision of a faculty member. The student may carry out the work at his/her place of employment provided all parties are in agreement. Before gathering data from human participants, the student must obtain approval from UNB's Research Ethics Board.
Thesis Option – Students following the thesis route must complete a minimum of five (5) term courses and successfully defend a thesis (equivalent to 15 credit hours at the 6000 level). Only one (1) course may be at the advanced undergraduate level. The thesis requires the student to complete a substantive and independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member.
Those pursuing the thesis option will be assigned, in consultation with the student, a supervisor for his/her thesis. At the option of the supervisor and student, additional members of the School of Graduate Studies can be invited to sit on an advisory committee.
When the written research proposal is approved by the supervisory committee, students may proceed to an oral presentation of the proposal or they may make the proposal available, through the office of the Associate Dean Graduate Studies, for members of the GAU to review for a period of one week. If there is no request made to the supervisor for changes, then the proposal is approved through the signature of the supervisor and placed in the student's file.
Before gathering data from human participants, the student must obtain approval from UNB's Research Ethics Board. Once the research proposal has been approved by the Faculty of Education, the candidate will complete the required ethics forms and submit these to the Faculty Ethics Committee. Once approved by the Faculty Ethics Committee, the application will be forwarded to the University Research Ethics Board (REB) for approval. No research involving humans may proceed without approval of the REB.
The Examining Committee for a thesis is made up of the Supervisor, at least one member of the Education GAU and one member of a GAU external to the Faculty.
When the thesis is ready for oral presentation, a copy of the thesis is placed in the Office of the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies for two weeks. This allows members of the GAU opportunity to review the thesis prior to the final oral presentation.

MEd in Counselling
Information for UNB MED students who are asking to transfer from their present program to the MED in Counselling.
In order to maintain fairness in the process of accepting students into the counselling program, applications to transfer into the program from other UNB Faculty of Education masters programs will be evaluated together with new applicants into the program. The following practices have been adopted to facilitate this:
1. There will be no automatic transfer of students into the counselling program, regardless of the number of counselling degree requirement courses students may have completed as part of another program at UNB.
2. Applications for transfer will be reviewed once per year, with the deadline to submit transfer applications being the same as the new applicant deadline.
3. Transfer applicants will be placed in the same pool as incoming applicants and evaluated according to the same criteria.
*****************
The MEd Counselling degree is designed for individuals who (a) want to become masters-level practitioners working as school counsellors or counselling therapists in community agencies and private practice, or (b) want to obtain a combined research and practice-based masters degree in the field, prior to pursuing doctoral studies in counselling psychology. Counsellors work with individuals, groups and/or families to address a wide range of issues related to daily life and development, including career choice and adjustment, successfully making life transitions, functioning in interpersonal relationships, and emotional and behaviour problems. Faculty in the department conduct research on issues such as career and vocational development, counselling processes, therapeutic relationships, growth psychology, and the professions of counselling and counselling psychology in Canada.
Completion of the counselling stream of the MEd degree does not guarantee admission for certification as a licensed psychologist. Students seeking this certification must contact with each province in which they desire licensing to ensure they have fulfilled the requirements towards certification as a licensed psychologist.
Students intending to pursue doctoral studies in counselling psychology are encouraged to complete both a thesis and an internship. It is also important to attend to the entrance requirements of the doctoral programs to which you are intending to apply prior to planning your program of studies, because doctoral programs vary in terms of the courses, internship hours, and types of internship experiences they require from applicants. Links to doctoral programs accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association can be found at: http://www.cpa.ca/accreditation/cpaaccreditedprograms/
Students intending to pursue certification with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) are encouraged to review the requirements to become a Canadian Certified Counsellor, and to plan their program of study accordingly. CCPA’s certification requirements can be found at: http://www.ccacc.ca/en/memberbenefits/certification/
Note that, in both of these situations, students may need to complete courses beyond the minimum requirements of the MEd degree. |

Critical Studies in Education
Critical Studies in Education addresses questions about unequal power relations in the larger society and their impact on Education in its broadest sense. Courses engage with a range of related contemporary
critical theories, including critical race theories, postcolonialist approaches, feminist theories, maternal literacies, indigenous theories, queer theories, critical disability theories, and class analyses. The area provides a critical foundation for all areas of policy, research, and curriculum, for example, critical literacies,
early childhood education, First Nations education, inclusion, health education, cultural studies, gender studies, media studies, and popular culture studies. It is an important area for anyone interested in working toward creating more equitable social relations and socially just educational communities.
