Education Policy allows you to decide the pace of your program, enabling students to earn their degree while continuing their careers. Typically, the program offers 9 credits a semester for two years, however, you can choose to accelerate this, taking more courses per semester. Some courses are also offered online, ensuring convenience. Students who wish to, can complete a master’s degree within a calendar year if that’s what works best for their schedule, but students who want to enroll part-time and year round can choose that path.
We understand that many of our students have jobs, families and commitments, and have set up the program to help them balance their studies with their other responsibilities. Many of the courses take place in the evening, and some weekend courses are also offered. Courses are also offered in the summer for those pursuing their master’s degree.
Peabody’s unique cohort model enables students to work closely together throughout the term, which allows for greater collaboration, deeper learning and an increased sense of community with your peers.
On top of your courses, you’ll take a hands-on practicum, which offers a fulfilling opportunity to apply your coursework to tackling real-world challenges.
