Did you know that the University of Alberta offers a Health and Physical Education MEd Cohort?

Well, we do! Complete information can be found on our Cohort Website but here’s a short overview FYI:

  • Course-based program with an option to switch to thesis.
  • Offered every two years (for now). The #classof2022 is in progress and the next start date will be Summer 2022 (application deadline is December 1, 2021).
  • 6 courses are completed online (mostly asynchronous with some synchronous opportunities.
  • 4 courses are completed in-person on the UAlberta campus over two consecutive summers (2 weeks each summer).

Congratulations!

The HPE MEd Cohort #classof2020 has crossed the (virtual) stage! Check out the Faculty of Education’s article on our fabulous students.

We had three students convocate in Spring 2020, nineteen in Fall 2020 and our final two thesis students (transferred part way through!) will convocate Spring 2021.

Wow – what an accomplishment! It has been an honour and a pleasure working with all of these fabulous students and we know they are going to keep doing great things!
