Advanced Professional Studies in Education
Graduate diploma programs are developed in co-operation with other educational partners (E.G. school districts and consortia, Ministry of Education regional offices) and all courses are offered at off-campus sites. Each program addresses a theme that is relevant to that particular educational community. Students normally progress through the program as a cohort.
