To Transfer from a MEd to MA degree.Students in the Educational Psychology Program who wish to transfer from the MEd degree to the MA degree must have completed core course requirements for the MA program plus courses in their stream that relate to the topic of the proposed MA thesis. They will present to faculty members they invite to be supervisor and member(s) of the thesis committee a thesis proposal of approximately 25 pages (APA manuscript format) for review. The thesis proposal will include: a description of the topic to be investigated; an analysis of theoretical and, as appropriate, practical significance of the research to educational psychology; a scholarly review of key literature; a description of methods for carrying out the investigation; an account of resources required to complete the investigation (e.g., participants, computer technologies, information resources beyond those held by the SFU library); a schedule of milestones in the investigation; and, a timeline for completing courses in the MA program. If the thesis proposal is approved by the nominated supervisor and member(s) of the thesis committee, transfer from the MEd degree to the MA degree will be effected once the appropriate form is filed with and is approved by the Director of Graduate Programs.
