Until May 2007, no Inuit educators in Nunavut held graduate degrees in education. Since the July 2009 graduation, 23 Inuit educational leaders hold M.Ed. degrees. Currently a second iteration of the M.Ed. is underway.<\/p>\n

Offered by the\u00a0University of Prince Edward Island\u00a0in partnership with Nunavut’s Department of Education,\u00a0St. Francis Xavier University, and\u00a0Nunavut Arctic College, the Nunavut Master of Education in Leadership and Learning is the first graduate program to be offered in Nunavut.<\/p>\n

The M.Ed. program consists of ten courses, taken over the span of 3 years. Courses are offered as a combination of intensive face-to-face components (on campus at UPEI, in Iqaluit at the Inuit Arctic College, or in Rankin Inlet) and online distance education courses. Most courses have built-in on online supports. In addition to these courses, an individual research project is completed in the candidates\u2019 communities.<\/p>\n
