Master of Science in Education (MSEd): Canadian Teacher Education Program

The Master of Science in Education program at Medaille College in Amherst, New York has been welcoming Canadian teacher education students into our programs for more than 25 years. Highly respected on both sides of the border, Medaille's personalized education program will give you preparation you need to become a highly skilled teacher.

If you were considering a traditional Canadian teacher's college, studying at Medaille enables you to become familiar with the U.S. educational system and obtain a graduate degree. As a Canadian teacher education student, you can take advantage of either our Master of Science in Education: Elementary program  or Medaille's Master of Science in Education: Adolescent program.

 Both will prepare you to qualify to apply for certification in New York State and the Province of Ontario, Canada.

• Receive a 20 percent tuition discount. All Canadian students qualify for this tuition break.

• Recent Medaille graduates passed the Assessment of Teaching Skills-Written (ATS-W) Elementary and Secondary exams at a rate of 100 percent.
