Master of Arts in Education, Community College concentration Central Michigan University The Master of Arts degree in Education, with a Community College concentration, was created for the Ontario college system by Central Michigan University (CMU). It consists of 11 three-credit courses. Core courses develop general teaching skills with advanced classes in curriculum design, instructional strategies, educational research and educational psychology. Concentration courses allow you to focus on critical education issues in Ontario, including student development, college systems, administration, advanced teaching strategies and contemporary higher education issues.   The learning objectives in the program are flexible enough to apply to many different professional careers. Local graduates are successful faculty and administrators at colleges and K-12 schools throughout Canada, nurse educators, trainers, government professionals, military leaders and other professionals looking to advance their careers with a graduate-level degree. CMU's program is offered in a convenient, classroom-based, weekend cohort format at Georgian's Barrie Campus. Most students complete the program in about two years.   Central Michigan University has provided graduate degree programs and professional services to Ontario colleges for 35 years. The first program began in 1977 in Windsor. In the following 35 years, more than 65 cohorts have been offered at 15 different Ontario colleges. This has resulted in more than 1,500 graduates, providing Ontario colleges with professional faculty, many senior administrators, six college presidents and one university president. Graduates often continue their studies at the doctoral level with many attending OISE at the University of Toronto.   Central Michigan University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and approved by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
