This program is designed to provide individuals with the theories, knowledge and skills to design and run educational workshops, programs, campaigns, and interventions to meet the needs of clients’ and employers’ in a wide variety of settings. Business, government, nonprofit agencies, non-governmental agencies (NGOs), and healthcare agencies are all seeking to attract people who understand and can explain the broader context of education and are able to link it to some form of meaningful change. The overall goal of the program is to develop graduates who bring a keen sensibility related to the educational implications of both personal and social change to a wide variety of educational settings through collaborative projects and partnerships within the community.
