Message from the Dean, Faculty of Education
Welcome to the Faculty of Education at Yorkville University and to the Master of Education program in Adult Education. In considering the program offered by the University, you will be joining students who, like you, work with adult learners in a variety of contexts including: formal learning activities in post-secondary education, career colleges, literacy and second language programs, human resource development, health, mental health and rehabilitation programs, community development, and the vast range of informal learning activities and programs engaged in by individuals and groups.
The Master of Education program in Adult Education will help you develop foundational and advanced knowledge about adult learning and adult learners; hone skills in program design, implementation and evaluation; and apply these knowledge and skills in practical situations. Our courses are delivered online in order to serve individuals who, for reasons of family, work and community responsibilities, geographic isolation, or mobility difficulties, are unable to attend traditional university programs.
Yorkville University is committed to offering quality academic programs. Our faculty is made up of experienced scholars and practitioners from across North America. All faculty members have completed doctoral studies and many deliver adult learning services and programs as consultants within their home communities. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to helping you succeed in your studies by delivering services and courses that model best practices in adult education.
Please take the time to review the material on our website. Should you require any additional information please contact the University by email or telephone.
Sincerely,
Dorothy MacKeracher, Ph.D.
Dean, Faculty of Education
