St. Frances Xavier’s Master of Education program offers learners two streams to follow as they advance their teaching careers. Students may opt to follow the Educational Administration and Policy stream, or the Curriculum and Instruction stream, with each offering different core programs to best adhere to the area of focus. Additionally, students can choose from one of three options for how they wish to complete the program, a course based, thesis based, or project route, meaning learners of all types can find the best fit for their needs and skillsets.

Students who choose to follow the thesis route will participate in both online and in-person classes for the duration of the program, with online courses being live-online as well.

Learners can choose between part-time and full-time studies, with program completion being possible in as little as 13 months for some.

I had a positive experience in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. The training was thorough and focused on preparing competent, caring, and critically thinking nurses ready for real healthcare settings. The small, close-knit community made it easy to get support from faculty and peers, and the hands-on clinical experiences helped bridge classroom learning with practical skills.
