General Information
The mission of the Adult Education graduate program at UBC is to contribute to the creation, elaboration, exchange and application of knowledge concerning the education and learning of adults wherever they occur. This includes the development of scholars and reflective practitioners who will shape society and its institutions in ways that promote lifelong education and learning for all.
All on-campus master's students take a "core" of 12 credits of adult education courses. These are supplemented with electives that allow students to go deeper into the study of adult education or to explore topics and issues addressed elsewhere in the department and the university that have implications for adult education.
Students wishing to pursue doctoral studies in the field of adult education should apply to the Doctor of Philosophy program in Educational Studies or the Doctor of Education program in Educational Leadership and Policy.
