Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Administration

University of Saskatchewan

The Department of Educational Administration offers four graduate programs focusing on key educational issues for the improvement and effectiveness of organizations, communities, and government. Specific information about each program is accessible on the Graduate Studies website. The Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) is intended for students interested in study at a level beyond that found in undergraduate course-work. The Master's course-based program (MEd) represents a relatively new initiative within the Department, and has attracted many practice-focused students for whom a graduate degree offers a credential supporting in-depth professional development through the study of research and theory, as well as greater understanding, appreciation of, and experience with action research in their own school-based domain. The Master's thesis program (MEd), in addition to professional growth through study, focuses on the mentorship and preparation of students in larger scale research projects and for future progress in academia. The doctoral program (PhD) focuses attention on the preparation of academics through a rigourous, philosophical, and intense research-based extension of the Master's thesis program.
