Master of Education Program
The Master of Education program is a professional preparation program designed to build the leadership capacity of regional public and private schools. A result of years of discussion and planning, the Master of Education program was developed in collaboration with school district personnel and regional advisory groups. After a thorough analysis of local needs, two areas of specialization were identified: Reading Specialist and Educational Leadership.
Geared Towards Working Professionals
Courses are:
- Offered in the evening hours, Monday through Thursday, during the regular academic year.
- Offered in morning, afternoon and evening hours, during the summer break.
- Taught by full-time faculty and adjunct professors.
- Enrollment has been managed to allow for constructive individual attention.
Alumni Quote
"The M.Ed. program has provided me a wealth of opportunities to continue my personal pursuit of educational excellence. I was particularly appreciative of the vast experience and accessibility of our instructors, superintendents and educational professionals. The internship experience was second to none and has given me a confidence that is already propelling me towards my vision of becoming an educational leader!"

Our Faculty
The members of our full-time faculty have held positions in public and/or private education and continue to be engaged in ongoing consulting with other educators. Most of our adjunct professors are currently working in their chosen fields and, therefore, are a valuable resource to the program. By design, the York College M.Ed. model creates continuous opportunities for collaboration and mentoring.
