An Antioch University Los Angeles MAEx degree provides candidates with a wide variety of skills and practices that are quite marketable in our changing economy. The department faculty partner with our candidates to explore the injustices that pervade our society and to learn strategies for impacting them in positive ways through educational ventures.
DEGREE OVERVIEW
The curriculum consists of six half-time quarters where candidates develop a systems approach to social justice and sustainability-oriented educational leadership perspectives along with a variety of elective courses to best suit their area of interest and Department goals. The degree culminates with candidates sitting an oral Capstone experience that is based on research and learning they will have conducted within the program.
Candidates are assigned to a faculty advisor when they are accepted into the Program and work closely with their advisor to tailor the degree to meet their needs and allow them to pursue their individual interests.
For general information about department goals, please see the Master of Arts in Education and Teacher Credentialing section.
