The central objective of the Master of Education in Educational Administration is to provide a problem- and inquiry-driven environment through enriched practical, research-based, and theoretical understandings of educational issues in the administration and leadership of organizations, communities, and government. The department is actively involved in research relating to:
- educational leadership
- rural education
- school effectiveness
- leadership in post-secondary education
Course-based MEd
The course-based program offers students the opportunity to pursue depth of understanding in areas of personal concern where in-person courses are scheduled to facilitate part-time study while students maintain their employment in schools, as well as full-time options available for those seeking that enrollment. Recently, more than 100 students have been provided the opportunity to engage in graduate education in their own communities (including one First Nation), with their own school-division colleague cohorts, and tailored to the specific needs of their school communities.
Thesis-based MEd and PhD
Research is central in this program. A culminating objective is for Thesis Program students to conduct and defend an original piece of research.
Program objectives are achieved through accessibility to experiences that facilitate academic attainment within program coursework and the successful completion of a research project resulting in the production of a thesis. Required coursework for all students includes a mixture of theoretical and practical content. In addition, objectives are achieved through the following programmatic and extra-curricular opportunities: rigorous coursework, research assistance in Tri-Agency and other funded research projects, experiential learning through laboratory and international study, conference participation, co-authorship and presentation, and seminar leadership.
Local and International student engagement
In alignment with the local and international student engagement efforts of the University of Saskatchewan, the Department of Educational Administration is pleased to provide an overview of our programming and specific information of interest to many potential and active Indigenous graduate students (in Plains Cree) and international graduate students from China and Brazil.

以下信息对国际留学生非常重要，请仔细阅读：
- 取得教育系的研究生学位并不等同于取得萨斯喀彻温省或加拿大的教师资格证。
- 所有申请者都可以申请入读教育硕士（论文型），但本系的研究生招生委员会可能会将该类型申请者调整为教育硕士（授课型）。在学习几门课程并取得优异成绩后，学生可以申请转为论文型的研究学习。
- 一般情况下，完成一个硕士学位，学生需要两年的全职学习；完成一个哲学博士学位则需要五年的全职学习。
- 学习之余，我们鼓励国际留学生参与本系的活动，同时，学生亦应努力用英文与教授及同学交流。在我们的课程里，英文能力弱的学生将会难以跟上课程进度。
- 国际留学生必须完成英文水平考试。我们只接受英文水平达到录取标准的学生，具体英文能力标准请参阅 此网页 。雅思要求为6.5。
- 达到入学英文要求的国际留学生，在入读研究生课程后，将可能被要求提高自身的英文水平。 萨斯喀彻温大学提供专为国际留学生提升英文能力而设计的英文课程。
- 申请加拿大学生签证可能需要几个月的时间。若已录取学生无法成功获取学生签证，将不被允许以学生身份进入加拿大。

考虑到一些浏览者不熟悉教育管理系、研究生学院和萨斯喀彻温大学，我们将在下面提供关于学位项目的一些基本信息，供浏览者在访问本系网站的其他版块时参考。
与大多数大学一样，萨斯喀彻温大学的学术项目分为本科生课程和研究生课程。本科生需要3至4年完成其全部课程并取得学士学位。本校颁发的学士学位种 类包括：工学学士学位，文科学士学位，理学学士学位，教育学学士学位，医学学士学位和法学学士学位。达到学位项目目标后，学生获得从事相应职业或继续深造 的基本资格。学生在修读一些特定的本科课程之前，须完成另一个本科学位，才可以进入该特定的本科课程学习。我们将这些特定的本科课程称作“学士后”项目 (after-degree).
萨斯喀彻温大学的研究生课程包括硕士和博士学位。其授予学位包括：法学硕士学位，教育学学位，理学硕士学位，文学硕士学位，教育博士学位和哲学博士学位。其要求是学生在被录取本校研究生项目前，需获得本科学位（或更低的学位）。
在萨斯喀彻温大学，符合要求的应届本科生将被录取到相应的学院。例如，有意向成为教师（即攻读教育学士学位）的学生，将被教育学院录取。注册研究生项目的学生属于研究生学院的专门系别（比如教育管理系）—尽管专门系别可能位于专门学院内。
一般而言，本科生和研究生完成课程后，即可获得相应学分。学生获得规定的学分总数后，即可完成学位项目。“整学年课程”需要学生学习两个学期，学生 完成“整学年课程”学习后获得6个学分。“半学年课程”需要学生学习一个学期，完成后获得3个学分。完成学位项目所需的学分总数因项目而异。在教育管理 系，授课型（coursed-based）硕士项目学生需要完成30学分的必修课和选修课。论文型（thesis-based）硕士项目学生则需要完成 21学分的必修课和选修课，另须完成论文撰写及答辩。博士项目学生需要完成18个学分的必修课和选修课，另须完成论文撰写及答辩。
一些课程（尤其是部分研究生课程）没有学分，但学生必须修读才能完成学位项目。
在萨斯喀彻温大学，课程有课程名称、目录说明（提要）、系别缩写（通常为四个字母的首字母缩写，用于识别开设课程的系别；比如EADM表示“教育管 理”，ERES表示“教育研究”）和课程编号。课程编号表示学习级别：100至400级别的课程面向本科生，500级别的课程面向研究生证书班（介于本科 生项目和研究生项目之间—教育管理系目前没有）的学生，800至900级别的课程面向研究生。
Sobre o Departamento de Administração Educacional da Universidade de Saskatchewan
A Universidade de Saskatchewan está localizada às margens ao sul do rio Saskatchewan na cidade de Saskatoon, no Canadá. O Departamento de Administração Educacional se estabeleceu em 1964, tem atualmente 10 membros do corpo docente, e oferece o maior programa de pós-graduação na Universidade de Saskatchewan. Em 2012, um Comitê Internacional de Avaliação de Programas constatou que os programas de pós-graduação do Departamento de Administração Educacional eram semelhantes aos programas das Universidade de Londres e Universidade de Cambridge em termos de rigor, bolsa de estudos e sucesso.
O Departamento de programas de pós-graduação da Administração Educacional são planejados por professores, diretores de escolas, administradores do distrito escolar e funcionários, administradores universitários e funcionários do Ministério da Educação. Áreas-chaves do departamento de ensino, pesquisa e especialização incluem teoria organizacional, teoria e prática de administração escolar, teoria da liderança, administração da educação aborígene, administração de educação intercultural e internacional, financiamento educacional, legislação educacional e métodos de investigação educacional. Toda a programação é ministrada em Inglês.
O Departamento de Administração Educacional oferece três programas de pós-graduação para estudantes internacionais: Mestrado em Educação (curso baseado em trabalhos), Mestrado em Educação (tese) e Doutorado em Filosofia (tese). Os três programas começam todo ano em Setembro. As inscrições para o programa de PhD devem ser recebidas antes do dia 30 de Novembro e o curso tem início em Setembro. Para o programa de Mestrado as inscrições devem ser recebidas antes do dia 01 de Janeiro e o curso tem início em Setembro também. Detalhes adicionais importantes estão disponíveis nas páginas do website do Departamento de língua Inglêsa.
Sessenta e cinco por cento dos nossos alunos de doutorado são empregados em universidades e faculdades canadenses e internacionais. A maioria dos graduados do nosso Mestrado são empregados como diretores de escola e vice-diretores. Muitos outros alunos do nosso curso de mestrado e doutorados escolheram carreiras como administradores seniors de organizações educacionais.
As seguintes informações são importantes para que os estudantes internacionais possam entender melhor o programa:
- O diploma do Departamento de Administração Educacional não dá direito a licenciatura de professor na província de Saskatchewan ou do Canadá.
- Todos os alunos em potencial podem se matricular para entrar no Mestrado de Educação (tese), mas a Comissão de Programas de Pós-Graduação do Departamento pode revisar a matrícula para que os alunos sejam admitidos no Mestrado em Educação (curso baseado em trabalhos). Após várias matérias bem sucedidas os alunos podem solicitar a transferência para o programa-tese.
- Normalmente são exigidos dos estudantes dois anos de estudo em tempo integral para completar um mestrado. Alunos de doutoramento muitas vezes necessitam cinco anos de estudo em tempo integral.
- Os estudantes internacionais são incentivados a participar de atividades extras departamentais, além das aulas normais e devem fazer um esforço para interagir com colegas e professores de língua Inglêsa. Estudantes que não são bem sucedidos em nossos programas tendem a se sentir solitários.
- Os estudantes internacionais em potencial deverão completar os testes de proficiência do idioma Inglês. Nós só aceitamos os alunos cuja habilidade na língua seja compatível às normas mostradas nesta página vinculada.
- Após a admissão no programa de pós-graduação, os estudantes internacionais podem ser solicitados a melhorar suas habilidades na língua Inglêsa além do requisito de admissão. A Universidade de Saskatchewan oferece cursos destinados a estudantes internacionais que necessitem melhorar o seu Inglês.
- Os vistos canadenses para os estudantes podem levar vários meses para serem processados. O aluno não terá permissão para entrar no Canadá como um estudante a menos que toda a documentação do Visto esteja completa.
- Se você tiver alguma dúvida, favor entre em contato com o Chefe do Departamento, Dr. Paul Newton por e-mail em Inglês.
