Ed.M. Adult Education

Discover the many benefits of earning your master's degree in Education (Ed.M.) off-campus through Oregon State University's College of Education and Extended Campus.  

Overview

The Adult Education cohort master's degree program offers two areas of emphasis.  You may choose one main focus or work within both areas. This degree will prepare you to work either:

• As a development and training specialist in business, industry, government, community agencies and community college programs that provide training services to their own or other organizations
  
• As an instructional specialist and master teacher/trainer (including English as a second language), work-related and/or content-based instruction for a diverse group of adult learners in business, community and community college settings.

Participants

Program participants are working professionals in business, industry, higher education, non-profit agencies or government settings. Application requirements include a bachelor's degree, written and oral communication skills and professional recommendations and experiences.

Collaborative Cohort Model

Working alongside fellow professionals offers insight and support to cohort members that simulate a professional work environment.  The program is adult learning-focused and will enhance your skills to work in training, education and organizational development.

Convenient delivery in a weekend format 

Classes for the Ed.M. in Adult Education are held at the Wilsonville Training Center in Wilsonville, Ore. on weekends (Friday and Saturday), generally the first or second weekend of each month. Interim assignments are supported by mentoring and coaching of instructional staff and student peers via the Internet. This is a three-year, regional cohort program.
