At Boston College, we believe in the values of formative education. Our online M.Ed. in Global Perspectives integrates the intellectual, social, and spiritual dimensions of the human journey. Through our program, we prepare educators to foster all elements of student growth to enhance their success in school, as well as in life.

Through our Global Perspectives program, we engage K-12 teachers, instructors, coaches, and community organizers to create a more just world through education. Taking a formative approach, our program equips educators with the tools to design effective curriculum for diverse and global student populations.
