The Master's Degree program in International Education requires a capstone project or research study. The program encourages and supports a wide variety of projects. They include small-scale field research projects, library studies of a topic, designing and implementing a training program, analysis of social media, doing a participatory action project, or analyzing nonformal education programs.
Projects are rooted in the professional experience of the students and reflect the wide range of educational contexts that CIE has been involved in.
Nearly 300 Master's projects have been completed in the history of the program. Many of them can be found here.
