Graduate Studies

Bishop’s School of Education offers a Master of Education in Educational Studies and Leadership (M.Ed.) (non-thesis), designed to meet academic and professional needs of educators and administrators. As well, we offer a Master of Arts in Educational Studies (M.A.) (thesis) to prepare educational professionals to pursue research-based inquires, often leading to doctoral studies in education. 

We offer a thesis-based as well as a course-based Master of Science (MSc). The course-based Master’s offers a solid background for students aiming at a professional career. The academic focus of the thesis-based Master’s is excellence in research and it aims to provide a starting point to students oriented toward PhD studies but also to professionally inclined candidates. Many of our thesis-based graduates have pursued PhD studies, but several have gone into successful professional careers right after completing their degree. 

The Master’s Program is designed to give students a deeper appreciation of physics while giving them a comprehensive exposure to research methodology that will allow them to become independent researchers. Research is being carried out in the following areas: 

• Astrophysics (Stellar and Binary Evolution, Exoplanets, Multi-Messenger Astrophysics) 
• Gravitation & Cosmology (Modified Gravity, Gravitational and Cosmological Theory, Black Holes) 
• Theoretical Physics (Quantum Field theory, Solitons/Instantons, Gravity, Particle Physics) 

Thesis-based, Individualized Masters Programs allow students to tailor a Master’s program (M.Sc. or M.A) to specific research goals and explore topics outside of traditional disciplines. Students applying to the Individualized Program must contact a supervisor in a field of research they are interested in and collaborate with them to develop a proposal for a research project and program of study.

The mission of the Graduate Certificate in Brewing Science program is to provide a comprehensive education on the science of the ingredients of beer, the brewing process, and the analytical methods specific to the brewing industry. This education is fortified by more than 200 hours of brewing experience on state-of-the-art equipment. 

The graduate-level Micro-Program in Climate Change has been designed so that it will provide students with a solid understanding of both the scientific and non-scientific aspects of climate change and thus will be highly applicable to a range of career options. 

This certificate focuses specifically on preparing educators for this era of uncertainty, complexity, and multiple crises (the climate emergency, crises of social inequality, civic engagement, human and ecological well-being, and technological revolutions). It is designed to enhance the work of educators in formal and informal settings, curriculum specialists, program developers, and school leaders.  

Knowledge mobilization is the act of transforming knowledge into action. It is the ability to identify new insights produced by academic research and harnessing them to meet societal and economic needs. With this certificate you can become the bridge between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Our one-year online program gives you the key skills to build community-academic partnerships and put research results into the hands of those who need it.

This program’s objective is to form psychologists able to assess and help various clienteles, drawing on the discipline’s scientific knowledge and on a deep understanding of the needs and characteristics of individuals and communities. It is also aimed at producing competent psychologists able to use critical thinking in their professional decisions and to assess the effectiveness of their own interventions. Lastly, the program is aimed at producing psychologists who will contribute to the development and revitalization of professional practice.
