Master of Education in Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation (Med Sci)
The Master of Education in Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation (MEd SCI) addresses the needs of formal and non-formal educators, administrators, innovators, classroom teachers, and environmental, community, and sustainability leaders. The program utilizes the competencies for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as defined by the United Nations and emphasizes the significance of utilizing a holistic approach that enables the learner to envision change and engage in personal and professional transformation. Applying these sustainability principles with creativity and an entrepreneurial orientation contributes to well-being for all, sustainably.
The MEd SCI is a 30 credit graduate program that can be completed fully online. The program features two options: a thesis route and a non-thesis route.
- Thesis students complete five core graduate courses (3 credits each), two graduate electives (3 credits each), and a thesis (9 credits).
- Non-thesis students complete five core graduate courses (3 credits each), three graduate electives (3 credits each), and a project (6 credits).
To maintain satisfactory standing in the MEd (SCI), graduate students must achieve a passing grade of 70 in each course. Students who fail any course will receive notification from the Registrar’s Office, (copied to the School Dean), that they have been placed on probation. A student who subsequently fails a second course, (including the same course twice), will be notified by the Registrar that they have been dismissed from the program; in progress courses will be dropped, (with WP entered on the transcript), and refund rules applied.
All academic decisions affecting students may be appealed to the CBU Appeals Committee; procedures as outlined in the Academic Calendar.
