Admission to the M.Ed. in Adult Education is currently suspended.  For more information, please contact Dr. Jeff Bailey (PSB 218C) at (907) 786-4301 or at afjgb@uaa.alaska.edu.

The Master of Education in Adult Education is based on a commitment to lifelong learning and educating the whole person. The program is designed for working professionals who will develop, lead, and implement educational programs for adults across an entire range of professions, including higher education, health care, human services, non-profit organizations, government, and business. The program is learner-centered and designed to develop scholarship and professional competencies while encouraging self-reflection and strengthening a commitment of service to adults.

The program encompasses theory, research, and practice related to adult learning and teaching and can be completed in as few as two years by students who can attend full time and year-round, or in four to seven years by students who can attend part-time. Courses are conducted at convenient times: evenings, weekends, and summers. The program contains three major components: core foundational courses (12 credits), emphasis and elective courses (6 core + 9-11 credits), and final core courses (7-9 credits), resulting in a total of 36 credit hours for degree completion.
