Master of Education [M.Ed] [Learning and Design] From Vanderbilt University

Through this 10-month-long program, students will work to discover how learning happens across diverse settings and how to bolster and enhance it. You’ll create and study environments that have impact across scale, time, and context.

In the end you’ll be able to use this knowledge to contribute to and create innovative learning environments both in and out of school. From developing curriculum for an after-school art program to community initiatives that create safe spaces for homeless youth, this program focuses on understanding:

• how people learn;
• how contexts and tools influence learning; and,
• how to design learning environments and activities to support learning.

The Learning and Design M.Ed. program is planned as an immersive instructional design program spanning mid-July to graduation the following May. Coursework is directly connected to schools, museums, libraries, and community organizations to support your cohort in exploring connections and implications of theory in practice.
