sensei Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Greetings! I would like to ask if anyone here knows of an online masters course? I would appreciate any recommendations. I would like to get a masters degree in education from a legitimate and recognized school. It would be a big bonus if it is not too expensive. Thanks in advance!

Sensei Some of my friends did the online masters. It was a lot of work, and very convenient for adults that are working/teaching overseas, or even in-country, for that matter. However.... you need to make sure that online EFL Master's are still being accepted universally. Some schools and institutions are not recognizing them, and insisting on "on-site" master's that involve teaching practice, etc. This may not be a trend, or it may be a trend.

aussiestyle1983 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) University of Wollongong in Australia. It used to be ranked as the best university in Australia for the faculty of education. You need to do a total of 8 courses, or units, whatever you want to call them. 4 units will give you a grad cert. An additional 2, so 6 in total will give you a grad diploma. And, a total of 8 will give you a masters. The degree will be called a Masters degree in Education, MEd. You can select from a few majors, but they do offer TESOL. I think it can be done entirely online, I think................... At worst, I read somewhere, but it may be for a programme offered by a different uni, that you will need to attend for 1 week. I can't remember. Anyway, the total cost in AUD is not much. I worked it out to be 6,000 AUD total. A international MEd from a dodgy Thai uni might even cost more than that. If you can't finish, you can also graduate with a grad cert or a grad diploma in education. After I finish my BA, that is what MEd I will be doing.

sensei Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for the information. I forgot to mention that I already have a bachelor's degree in secondary education. I think that having a masters might give me some kind of leverage somehow when I am jostling for a position in a better school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiestyle1983 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 The way Thai's think and the way things are done in Thailand and Asia in general, I think you are spot on. More paper = more chances of getting what you want and more $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludacris Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The University of Southern Queensland in Australia and the Open University in England are two other options to look at. I think this topic was discussed while back so don't forget to do a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
