Sustainability, innovation, and community engagement are hallmarks of Cape Breton University culture. A program for progressive thinkers and problem solvers, the Master of Education in Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation (MEd SCI) program offers courses that enable learners to become more empowered leaders in education for sustainability, contribute to individual, community and global well-being and enhance teaching skills through real-world connections and integrated learning.
Using the competencies for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) defined by the United Nations, the MEd SCI program provides learners with the knowledge and skills to create transformative learning opportunities anywhere in the world. Designed for part-time study, the MEd SCI program is delivered in a flexible, completely online format. Students will be exposed to ground-breaking courses on sustainable happiness, sustainability education and Indigenous culture and language. The accessible faculty at CBU are committed to teaching excellence through a direct learning curriculum, undertaking original research to support sustainability scholarship. Students have the option to complete the degree through the applied research project route or the thesis route.
The MEd SCI program is approved by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Council for teaching license reclassification. While popular amongst teachers, a Bachelor of Education is not a pre-requisite for the MEd SCI program. Admission is open to other applicants who express an interest in expanding their education and seek professional development opportunities.
Applications for Fall 2021 have now closed. Applications for Fall 2022 will open in October 2021.
As a flexible, part-time and online only program, tuition for this course depends on student course load. For a full tuition breakdown, please visit Graduate Tuition & Fees.
Cape Breton University is a community committed to a sustainable world. It’s a place where students can grow into the leaders they were meant to be and learn the skills needed to face challenges and create solutions for a better world.
CBU provides graduate programs that foster sustainability, creativity and innovation. With student flexibility in mind, the MEd SCI Program is delivered entirely online. CBU is also home to the Verschuren Centre for Sustainability in Energy and the Environment, a leader in research and development for clean technology.
