Valuable aspects of studying at Concordia

I was inspired to pursue my MA in the DoE’s Child Studies program to continue to learn from such exceptionally talented faculty, staff, and colleagues; they are driven and passionate, and motivate you to conduct above and beyond research.

Studying in the Department of Education provides innumerate opportunities for collaboration – whether through stimulating course projects, research- or teaching assistantships, all of which have been both an inclusive and supportive learning experience. Ultimately, the privilege to conduct your own research is an experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Advice for potential applicants

My biggest piece of advice is to trust the process as you adjust into graduate school. Ask questions, seek insight from colleagues, and enter with an open-mind. The possibilities are endless!
