The University of Manitoba has announced a fully online Master of Education program in Language and Literacy, which will begin in Fall 2026. UManitoba said that the program was designed to be delivered fully online to encourage applications from potential students residing in rural and remote Manitoba, though UManitoba Education Professor Dr Jennifer Watt added that applicants from outside MB and Canada are welcome depending on available space. UManitoba says that the program differs from traditional online programs in that it is thesis-based. The coursework of the part-time program is intended to be completed over two years, with added flexibility of approximately one to three years for the remaining thesis component.
