Earn Your M.Ed. in Global Perspectives Online  

Our world is changing. As educators, we see this firsthand in our classrooms and communities. To better serve our students, we need to prepare them for the future through a curriculum designed for this changing world.

At the Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch School of Education and Human Development, we prepare powerful educators like you to thrive in a changing world via our online Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Global Perspectives: Teaching, Curriculum, and Learning Environments.

Curriculum & Instruction Design for Diverse and Globalized Educational Communities

The Master of Education in Global Perspectives: Teaching, Curriculum, and Learning Environments is among the first curriculum and instruction programs in the U.S. to apply globally informed learning designs to solve complex educational challenges.

Through this course of study, you will complete 12 courses (30 credit hours) engaging with your peers, collaborating on research, and drawing on international perspectives to generate solutions for your educational community.

Your courses will not only focus on evidence-based practices but examine the most significant drivers of inequality: new technologies, population mobility, political turbulence, economic volatility, and environmental fragility, which have the greatest impact on students and learning communities. During your course of study, you will explore new ways to bring equitable practices and opportunities to your classroom in spite of these challenges.

Our curriculum is specifically crafted to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully navigate and serve students in an ever-changing and globalized world.
