Union and TIES Announce Master of Education Partnership

by | Jun 25, 2021 | News / Interviews | 0 comments

Union Institute & University and The Institute for Educational Studies (TIES) are joining forces to offer a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree with majors in Integrative Learning and Montessori Integrative Learning. This dynamic new partnership will combine the unique strengths of Union and TIES to provide high-quality graduate education to individuals who aspire to advance their teaching skills and knowledge. The degrees will be awarded by Union Institute & University.

 

Union Provost and Vice President Nelson Soto said, “The new Master of Education (M.Ed.) with majors in Integrative Learning and Montessori Integrative Learning brings two great strengths – new areas for degree programs not previously offered at Union and an experienced faculty who are experts in the fields of Montessori education and Integrative learning. These degree programs will be of value to those who have a specific interest in Montessori education as well as those who want to expand their understanding of what education might encompass.”

 

TIES’ experience in delivering graduate-level education within a dynamic online learning community aligns with Union’s philosophy and practices. Students who enroll in these programs will benefit from an environment that encourages continual growth, innovation and skill development.

 

Within the partnership, Union will provide academic oversight and institutional support. TIES will deliver academic content for both programs, which are designed to build graduate-level expertise through experiential learning and teacher-oriented research methods. The programs aim to meet the individual needs and creative interests of graduate students, with an emphasis on exploring subject matter from the contexts of universal justice – both social and ecological.

 

Warren Moliken, Development Director for TIES, added, “Union’s philosophy of independent learning, its strong sense of community and its commitment to social justice align well with TIES’ eco-cosmological worldview. A deep appreciation of our dialogue-based model and respect for our unique online teaching platform were also key considerations in establishing the partnership. The partnership will also open opportunities for previous TIES graduates to pursue doctoral studies with Union. Students can seamlessly transition into either an Ed.D. or Ph.D. while carrying a significant amount of credit from their TIES studies. Transfer credits will, of course, reduce both time and tuition.”
