Hi Ari, 

I also received an M.Ed. from Lesley, with a focus in informal ed.  I found their advisors very flexible with what you include in your program. You can take classes in several of the local (Cambridge, MA) colleges & universities, though I'm not sure if BC is one, they have a solid Geology program. I know they also offer off-site cohorts in several of their programs, but those are less flexible content-wise.  Good luck,

Years ago I did an independent study masters at Lesley College (now 

Lesley University).  I picked it because I wanted to do a museum masters 

focused on science museums.  I actually had just completed an 

undergraduate degree in geology.  At least the way it worked back then 

you could take courses at many colleges and universities depending on 

what you needed.  It might be worth looking at.
