Aerospace Studies: Aerospace Science and Engineering MASc

The Master of Applied Science (MASc) degree is a research-based program focused on the completion of a research thesis. The MASc is considered to provide basic training in research for students subsequent to an undergraduate program. Under the direction of a faculty supervisor, students will select a research topic, perform experiments, computation, or analysis relevant to the topic, and report their results in a thesis. Upon completion of the thesis, students will be prepared for further academic research or employment in industry, including in research and development settings. Top students may have the opportunity to transfer directly to the PhD program after their first year of MASc studies.

Full-Time Master's Thesis
Aerospace Studies: Aerospace Science and Engineering MEng

The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a course-based program designed to lead to employment in the aerospace industry. Students select from the wide range of UTIAS courses, as well as courses offered by other University of Toronto departments, to create a personalized curriculum. Students can also opt to follow one of several emphases, which provide more concentrated teaching in a specific area, and which are recorded on the student's transcript.

The MEng program can be taken on a full-time, extended full-time (EFT), EFT plus co-op, or part-time basis. Transfer between the full-time, EFT, and part-time options is not permitted after registration (except from EFT plus co-op to EFT). The default registration is the EFT option.

Extended Full-Time, Full-Time, Part-Time, Extended Full-Time Experiential Learning (Co-op / Internship / Placement / Practicum)
Aerospace Studies: Aerospace Science and Engineering PhD

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is a research-based program leading to the production of a research thesis. Doctoral research at UTIAS is expected to be internationally recognized for its originality, rigour, and importance. Supervised by a faculty member, students select a research topic, develop a plan to address the topic, and implement this plan, leading to a major research thesis and contributions to the academic literature. This is the pinnacle of academic achievement, and holders of the PhD are well prepared for academic positions and leadership roles in industrial research and development.

Applicants may enter the PhD program via one of two routes: 1) following completion of an MASc degree in engineering, mathematics, physics, or chemistry; 2) transfer from the University of Toronto MASc program. The program can also be taken on a flexible-time basis.

APHD: Child Study and Education EdD

This professional doctorate is designed to prepare professionals working in the field of education (or a highly related area) to extend their professional knowledge and practice to further develop their ability to be scholar-practitioners within child study. This program aims to provide practitioners with an advanced degree to enable them to engage in innovation, advanced professional practice, and understand how the field of child study can inform decision making in multiple contexts including the classroom.

This degree is designed for practitioners who are working within contexts in which children are served or supported and/or with individuals who support or guide those who work with children (for example, parents, families, and teachers).

The Doctor of Education (EdD) program is only available on a full-time basis.

Delivery options: Although not all elective courses are offered in each modality, students may be able to complete the EdD degree program through one of two delivery modes:

  • in-person (students will mainly complete their coursework and other program requirements in-person, with up to one-third of their coursework online); and

  • hybrid (students will experience a mix of modes of engagement, with some of their coursework and other program requirements in-person and between one-third and two-thirds of their coursework online) depending on their choice of emphases and elective courses.

Note: students should consult with their faculty advisor and/or graduate liaison officer regarding available options.

The next intake for this program is scheduled for September 2027 and therefore, applications for the 2027-28 academic year will be set to open in early October 2026.

APHD: Child Study and Education MA

The Master of Arts in Child Study and Education Program is offered at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study, a centre of professional teacher training and research in childhood and education, which includes a Nursery through Grade 6 Laboratory School. The aim is to prepare students for careers as thoughtful, compassionate, and equitable educators who apply research and theory in child study to their teaching to meet the needs of diverse learners and schools.

The philosophy of this program is based on the belief that successful teaching requires an understanding of how children's capacities, concerns, and behaviour change with age, how individual differences reflect developmental changes, and how social and physical environments influence children's development.

The program introduces students to educational and developmental theory and research relevant to educational settings, showing how this research can inform classroom practice. Students also learn how to objectively study children, using both practical assessment and formal methods of inquiry. These areas of knowledge combined with knowledge of effective teaching methods (such as an inquiry-based approach) and learning environments result in educational practices that build on children's current levels of development.

The non-thesis program requires two years of full-time study leading to a Master of Arts degree. Graduates are recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for a Certificate of Qualification, which qualifies the holder to teach in the primary and junior divisions (junior kindergarten to grade 6) of Ontario schools. Research is embedded throughout the courses and the program.

This program includes one field: Practice-Based Inquiry (PBI) in Psychology and Educational Practice field.

Contemporary East and Southeast Asian Studies: Master's Level Full-Time
Criminology and Sociolegal Studies: Criminology and Sociolegal Studies MA

The Master of Arts (MA) program encompasses two related disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields.

The first is criminology, which can be briefly defined as the study of all aspects of crime, including its definitions, causes, and intellectual genealogy, as well as the policy and institutional responses to it. Although criminology features some aspects of a separate discipline, including its own theoretical schools, journals, and university departments, it also draws heavily on related social science disciplines.

The field of sociolegal studies, is a related interdisciplinary research tradition that investigates a broad range of legal phenomena using the techniques and approaches of social science. Examples of such phenomena that the faculty have studied include citizenship and immigration policy, urban planning, and the regulation of alcohol and sex work, as well as international criminal justice and environmental justice.

The program is distinctive in that these bodies of knowledge are treated as closely related, and both of them are incorporated into the program of study. Broad intellectual exploration of these fields is incorporated by limiting the number of required courses and encouraging students to select courses (both in this and other graduate programs) that reflect their own intellectual and professional priorities. Likewise, students are given the option of meeting their degree requirements by completing eight taught half-courses or by completing six taught half-courses and writing a master's research paper (MRP) that allows them to develop an independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member. While specialized professional or technical training meant to be directly transferable into criminal justice occupations is not provided, we welcome applications by criminal justice professionals who wish to pursue part-time studies.

The MA program enjoys an excellent national and international reputation, and graduates are sought by employers in both the public and private sectors who appreciate the theoretically and academically rigorous interdisciplinary social science training that is provided.

Criminology and Sociolegal Studies: Criminology and Sociolegal Studies PhD

Similar to the MA program, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program reflects the same emphasis on interdisciplinarity and flexibility, as well as an integrated, inclusive approach to criminology and sociolegal studies.

The primary mission of the doctoral program is to prepare future professional academics for a career in teaching and research; graduates hold faculty positions throughout Canada, in the United States, and around the world.

Over the years, PhD students have pursued dissertation projects on extremely varied research questions involving aspects of crime, criminal justice institutions, and a range of sociolegal topics related to law, culture, power, and the state. Regardless of their specific focus, they have found the Centre a supportive and interactive environment. The Centre promotes such collegiality by offering students shared office space in the Centre and encouraging them to work on site and participate in the lively intellectual life and shared scholarly activities. Likewise, although PhD students work closely with a primary supervisor, they also benefit from opportunities to learn from other core and cross-appointed faculty members. In short, the goal is to train broadly educated, thoughtful scholars with a research agenda in criminology or sociolegal studies.

Students are normally paired with a prospective supervisor at the time of admission. Therefore, applicants are encouraged to identify one or more possible supervisors, as well as possible dissertation committee members, and should indicate on their application whether they have made contact with particular core or cross-appointed members of the graduate faculty for these purposes.

The emphasis in Arts in Education offers students specialized courses in the areas of music and sound; drama, theatre, and performance; media and visual arts; and other courses that manifest social justice concerns reflected through the arts and cultural production. This emphasis brings together students interested in the arts; elementary and secondary arts specialist teachers and community-based educators interested in arts education in the broader community. They are a vibrant community of scholars and graduate students who thrive on collegiality, intellectual debate, critical analyses, and creative inquiry.

  • Coursework. From the following course list, MA, MEd, and PhD students must successfully complete 1.5 full-course equivalents (FCEs), which are counted towards the total FCEs required for the student's degree program:

  • Upon successful completion of the emphasis requirements and the successful completion of the degree requirements, students may make a request to the C&P Program Administrator to have the emphasis noted on the student transcript. This request must be made before application for graduation. A course can only be applied to the requirements of a single emphasis.

 

Critical Studies in Curriculum and Pedagogy

Participating Programs:
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MA
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MEd General Program (No Field)
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy PhD

The emphasis in Critical Studies in Curriculum and Pedagogy (CSCP) encourages a critical exploration of educational phenomena, within and beyond the scope of schools, from local place-based and transnational comparative perspectives. CSCP courses focus on social justice issues in education, including those related to environmental justice, globalization, colonialism, race, disability, gender, sexuality, conflict-peace, and cultural and linguistic differences.

 

Digital Technologies in Education

Participating Programs:
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MA
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MEd General Program (No Field)
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy PhD

The emphasis in Digital Technologies in Education engages educators in an examination of technology and its effective use in educational contexts. Drawing on research from the fields of the learning sciences, psychology, diversity studies, and information and communication technology, learners will deepen their understanding of such topics as knowledge-building, computational thinking, gamification of learning, online knowledge communities, social media, immersive technologies (virtual reality, augmented reality), technology and assessment, and mobile learning.

  • Coursework. From the following course list, MA, MEd, and PhD students must successfully complete 1.5 full-course equivalents (FCEs), which are counted towards the total FCEs required for the student's degree program:

  • Upon successful completion of the emphasis requirements and the successful completion of the degree requirements, students may make a request to the C&P Program Administrator to have the emphasis noted on the student transcript. This request must be made before application for graduation. A course can only be applied to the requirements of a single emphasis.

 

Indigenous Education and Decolonization

Participating Programs:
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MA
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MEd General Program (No Field)
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy PhD

The emphasis in Indigenous Education and Decolonization not only examines the complex and tangled histories of those on whose traditional lands OISE/University of Toronto is situated — the Ouendat (Wyandot-Huron), Onondowahgah (Seneca-) and the Misi-zaagiing (Mississaugas-Anishinaabek) nations — but also extends to lands across Turtle Island and Abya-Yala. Tkaronto, as a starting place to understand Indigenous Education and Decolonization more globally, is subject to the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Hodenosaunee and the Anishinaabe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes regions.

This emphasis will provide an entry point into the knowledge systems that emerge from this particular land, with an emphasis on land itself as a teacher and a source of knowledge. The emphasis will be grounded on a decolonial pedagogy, with a commitment to anti-colonization and decolonization practices. Recognizing that these lands have existed, and still do exist, first and foremost in relationship to Indigenous people requires a critical consciousness and acknowledgement of whose traditional lands we are now on as well as the historical and contemporary realities of those relationships. It is this understanding that forms the philosophical foundation upon which all of our courses position themselves within the emphasis.

  • Coursework. From the following course list, MA, MEd, and PhD students must successfully complete 1.5 full-course equivalents (FCEs), which are counted towards the total FCEs required for the student's degree program:

Science, Mathematics and Technology

Participating Programs:
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MA
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MEd General Program (No Field)
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy PhD

The emphasis in Science, Mathematics and Technology (SMT) is dedicated to exploring theory, practice, and contemporary issues pertaining to SMT education in diverse settings and contexts. They are a vibrant community of scholars and graduate students who thrive on collegiality, intellectual debate, critical analyses, and inquiry.

Drawing on research and practice, students will explore and critique SMT education while supporting research, curriculum development, teaching, and innovation. With strong connections to the SMT Centre, and the collaborative specialization in Engineering Education, students will engage deeply with topics such as science, technology engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; SMT education in formal and informal settings; equity; inclusion; diversity; activism; and social and environmental justice.

 

Wellbeing

Participating Programs:
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MA
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy MEd General Program (No Field)
  • Curriculum and Pedagogy PhD

The purpose of education should be to move people toward improved connectedness and happiness, as well as to further accomplish and to develop greater opportunities for growth. The emphasis in Wellbeing provides hope and healing for individuals and society through innovative educational experiences by helping people deal well and wisely with issues in their lives and times. The mission is to provide critical educational experiences that awaken the best in the human spirit by addressing issues of public concern.

Critical issues investigated through coursework may be related to mental health, environmental issues, and destructive ethnocentric patterns of behaviour, as well as the wise and ethical use of technology. In addition, strategies for managing anxiety and depression, and for raising awareness of inequitable and discriminatory conditions are similar across differing contexts. Therefore, one must examine one's own life and circumstances and larger societal and institutional contexts before taking informed action for the greater good of all people.

The goal is agency through self-advocacy and advocacy for others. Through this process, one does not merely deconstruct but also reconstructs through learning about how one's belief structures and patterns may become more beneficial to oneself and to those around. More specifically, these holistic approaches involve various forms such as narrative/biography, phenomenology, meditation, mindfulness practice, body work, mental health, and conscious use of technology.

  • Coursework. From the following course list, MA, MEd, and PhD students must successfully complete 1.5 full-course equivalents (FCEs), which are counted towards the total FCEs required for the student's degree program:

  • Upon successful completion of the emphasis requirements and the successful completion of the degree requirements, students may make a request to the CSTD Program Administrator to have the emphasis noted on the student transcript. This request must be made before application for graduation. A course can only be applied to the requirements of a single emphasis.

The program provides students with a strong grounding in curriculum; human development; ethics, law, and the teaching profession; equity diversity and inclusion; Indigenous education; educational technology; instructional planning and design; and learning theory. Students have three practice teaching experiences in which they develop their skills as teachers and extend the theoretical and practical knowledge they acquired in the academic portion of the program.

The program includes coursework and practice teaching.

The 20-month program is normally completed on a full-time basis in 5 terms:

  • Terms 1 and 2 (Fall and Winter sessions [September to April])

  • Term 3 (Summer session [May to August])

  • Terms 4 and 5 (Fall and Winter sessions [September to April]).

Registration in Terms 4 and 5 is contingent upon successful completion of all courses in Terms 1, 2, and 3 and two successful placements.

Applicants must select one of the following teaching divisions:

  • Primary/Junior (kindergarten to grade 6)

  • Junior/Intermediate (grades 4 to 10)

  • Intermediate/Senior (grades 7 to 12).

This program is delivered in person, which means that while the program may offer some courses online, a student will take less than one-third of their courses online.

Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies: Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies MA

The graduate program of the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies (CDTPS) is an interdisciplinary program that intersects research in the fields of drama, theatre and performance studies including research in dramatic literature, cross-cultural theory and histories of theatre and performance, conceptual and applied models of dramaturgy, and methodologies of practice-based research. Graduating students will be well equipped to pursue doctoral studies, serve as innovative leaders in cultural institutions and the performing arts, or become creative entrepreneurs.

Based on faculty research, we offer support for studies in Canadian theatre; Indigenous and East Asian theatre; dance and physical theatre; popular theatre; cross-cultural communication through performance and media; studies of experimental and avant-garde theatre in North America, Asia, and Europe; early modern theatre and archival studies; queer and feminist performance theory, ethics, and equity in theatre and performance; theatre and globalization; and digital humanities in performance. In addition to courses in the program, students are encouraged to take advantage of cross-listed courses and research opportunities across the humanities, sciences and social sciences. Bilinguality or multilinguality is an asset as well as creative artistic experience and a developed level of digital literacy.

Students entering the Master of Arts (MA) program can choose between three options: the Coursework-Only Option, the Thesis-Based Option, and the Master's Research Project Option. Applicants interested in the part-time MA option should contact the Associate Director (graduate) to obtain specific information prior to application.

Environment: Environment and Sustainability MES

The Master of Environment and Sustainability (MES) is a full-time, one-year research-stream program designed for students seeking the transdisciplinary research skills needed to understand and develop solutions to the many environmental and human well-being challenges and opportunities facing us in the 21st century. The transdisciplinary perspective means research 1) that is problem focused, rather than discipline-focused, starting from problems in the world and working back to the knowledge required to address those problems; and 2) involves active engagement with non-academic partners in active processes of co-production of knowledge.

The program builds on the strengths of the School of Environment's undergraduate programs and its two interdisciplinary graduate collaborative specializations in Environmental Studies and Environment and Health. Upon graduation, MES students will have acquired a transdisciplinary perspective on environmental issues, learned to use methodologies and tools relevant to environmental protection and sustainability solutions, and will be well prepared for a variety of careers in the private and public sectors or for further studies at the doctoral level.

Law: Law LLM

The Master of Laws (LLM) is a one-year degree program that provides students with an opportunity for more profound study beyond their first law degree.

The LLM program can be thesis-intensive (with both a short or long thesis option) or coursework-only. The short and long thesis options are for law students who have demonstrated a strong potential for advanced research and original scholarship. The coursework-only option is for law students who wish to specialize in a specific area of law or explore common law at an advanced level.

Within the LLM program, students also have the option of applying to pursue one of four areas of concentration:

  • LLM with a Concentration in Business Law

  • LLM with a Concentration in Criminal Law

  • LLM with a Concentration in Health Law, Ethics, and Policy

  • LLM with a Concentration in Legal Theory.

Students accepted into a concentration will receive a designation on their transcript. There are a limited number of spots available for students in each concentration, and acceptance into the concentrations will be competitive.

The program is completed on a full-time or part-time basis.

The Full-Time Rotman MBA is an intense program that combines 16 months of academic study with a 4-month opportunity for a paid internship. The program begins with a core curriculum that introduces Rotman's unique problem-solving and creative methodology with the fundamental disciplines of business. Students have the opportunity to customize their MBA experience by choosing to complete an emphasis in one of 10 areas, develop a broader skill set with over 90 elective courses, and accelerate their career through the experiential learning component of the Flexible Internship program. As the practice of management evolves over time, so do the elective courses and areas that Rotman offers in any given year.

Students are required to complete the course Applied Management: Placement in conjunction with a work placement which may be done in the Summer, Fall, or Winter sessions. Depending on their academic area of study and career objectives, students will be guided on the best work term option to secure a placement with an employer.

Rotman offers three core strategic areas — an innovative curriculum, tailored career services, and the Self-Development Lab — to develop the skills and experiences students need to accelerate in their careers as high-value decision makers and business leaders. Whether their aim is to make a career switch, accelerate their current career, or start their own business, the Rotman MBA enables students to reach their professional and personal goals.

The Full-Time Advanced Standing Option (One Year) MBA allows students who have previously studied business or management to complete the Full-Time MBA program over three sessions. Students in the option engage in a reduced core curriculum prior to completing a set of electives. Students can complete an emphasis as part of their program. Students in the option will not be required to complete a work placement and will not take Applied Management: Placement. In addition, students will not be eligible to apply for a combined degree program. This option starts on May 1, 2026.

The Extended Full-Time (Morning/Evening) Rotman MBA programs are designed for working professionals in the Greater Toronto Area.

Mathematical Finance: Mathematical Finance MMF

In the Mathematical Finance (MMF) program, students reshape their existing analytical abilities with the help of senior academics in mathematics, computer science, statistics, and engineering who have experience with the tools of mathematical finance. This cross-disciplinary approach develops graduates with a richer, more innovative approach to applied mathematics in real-world situations. Some of the faculty are seasoned practitioners from the financial industry while others are from leading firms in the financial software industry, developing applications around requirements like risk management, portfolio analysis, and the pricing of advanced derivatives.

The heart of the program is the four-month internship or campus project. Working on real financial projects, students learn to integrate and apply theoretical knowledge gained earlier in the program. In the internship, students team up with employees of the sponsoring firm to experience how financial mathematics impacts the decision-making processes of a financial services organization.

Students arrive on campus in mid-August and will proceed through the program as a group, following a common course of study. The course of study will be fully integrated and computer-laboratory intensive. Course projects and assignments will be designed to integrate the material learned from a variety of the courses and to utilize it in a practical context. Excellent communication and presentation skills will be emphasized in both the oral and written components of the projects.

Inquiries about part-time options for the program should be addressed to the Program Director.

MD / MBA: Application Process
  • Applicants must apply to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree program, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) Full-Time Option, and the CDP.

  • Applicants must gain independent admission to both the MD and MBA programs before they may be considered for admission to the CDP.

  • Qualified students in Year 3 of the MD degree program apply to the MBA Full-Time Option and the CDP.

MD / MBA: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): Medicine, Doctor of / Management, Full-Time Option, Master of Business Administration (MD/MBA FT) offered jointly by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and the Rotman School of Management. The MD/MBA FT CDP is intended for a small number of medical students taking the MD program either at the University of Toronto St. George or Mississauga campus, who have an interest in becoming health sector leaders with management competencies.

Graduates of this CDP will be well positioned to act as the health-care executives of tomorrow, in both the public and private sectors. The MBA FT coursework, combined with the MD curriculum, will prepare students for significant leadership opportunities throughout their career.

Because students take a reduced course load, they will complete both programs in five years rather than the six years it would take to acquire the degrees independently.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

MD / MSc: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): STG, Medicine, Doctor of / Master of Science in Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Specialty (Full-Time, Coursework-Only Option) is offered jointly by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Dentistry. Tailored for a select group of dental graduates aspiring to assume specialized roles within the health-care sector, the MD/MSc OMFS equips participants with advanced competencies in dentoalveolar and oral surgery. This program is structured to equip graduates with a comprehensive foundation in oral and maxillofacial surgery as a specialized field, while also preparing them for examinations administered by the Royal College of Dentists in Canada.

Trainees will complete both programs in six years rather than the eight years it would take to acquire the degrees independently.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

MD / PhD: Requirements

Minimum Admission Requirements

  • Applicants must be accepted by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and meet the requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and the department in which they intend to carry out their graduate studies.

  • Students with a master's degree and medical students are eligible to apply.

Program Requirements

  • Applicants may pursue the dual degrees via an integrated or a sequential route.

  • Integrated: Students with a master's or bachelor's degree enter the MD/PhD program and, within a six- to seven-year period, complete the requirements of the first two years of the MD program and all requirements of the PhD program. During this time, a predetermined program of integration is pursued which provides time allocation for both medical school and graduate study. On completion of the PhD requirements, students return full-time to the medical program.

  • Sequential: Students with a master's or bachelor's degree enter the medical program on a full-time basis. After 12 to 18 months of medical school, they proceed to full-time graduate work until the PhD requirements are completed. Students then return to medical school to complete the last 2 to 3 years.

Medical Biophysics: Medical Biophysics MSc

The objective of the MSc program is for students to acquire written and oral scholarly research skills in Medical Biophysics. Students carry out a research project (which is usually laboratory-based), prepare a research thesis, take graduate-level courses, and attend and participate in research seminars. Students select from a flexible, modular curriculum and participate in department-wide Medical Biophysics Graduate Student Seminars which develop skills in cross-disciplinary communication.

All MSc students carry out a thesis project in a laboratory that they select by means of a rotations program on entry to the department. Through this project they acquire knowledge in the design of experiments and in the interpretation and critical analysis of research findings. Students submit a thesis that reports critically on their research and pass an oral examination. They are guided by a supervisory committee through which they have access to the wide range of expertise in our faculty.

Students participate in student symposium, invited lecture series, and research seminars throughout their program. They are encouraged to reclassify (transfer) into the PhD program through an examination during Year 2, taken about 20 months after entry.

Medical Biophysics: Medical Biophysics PhD

The objective of the PhD program is to prepare students for a career in biomedical research. It is designed to provide both a broad knowledge of biomedical science and advanced training in basic research at a subspecialty level. Thesis work may address fundamental and/or translational problems in the biology, diagnosis, and therapy of cancer, as well as areas of neuroscience and cardiovascular medicine. By the end of the program, graduates will have acquired the ability to conduct independent theoretical and/or experimental research which makes an original contribution to the field, prepare publications, and give public presentations of their work at national and international venues.

These objectives are met through a combination of coursework, teaching, and research seminars, mentored laboratory research, and preparation of manuscripts for publication. Graduates may attain professorial positions in academic research and teaching institutions, hospital laboratories, and in the medical device, pharmaceutical, and biomedical science and information industries, including startup companies which they have founded.

Applicants may enter the PhD program via one of three routes: 1) following completion of an MSc degree into the four-year full-time program; 2) transfer from the University of Toronto MSc program; or 3) direct entry following completion of a BSc degree.

Public Health Sciences: Bioethics MHSc

The Master of Health Science (MHSc) in Bioethics is a two-year, course-based, professional master's degree program. It is designed with a hybrid delivery model (i.e., both in-person and online learning components) and a modular format (i.e., courses offered every two to three weeks on specified days) to allow high-achieving professionals to earn a master's degree without interrupting their careers.

Students are expected to participate in in-person residencies on campus (normally a duration of five days) in each academic session. The in-person residencies are designed for immersive and social learning activities (e.g., developing and practising skills in applied bioethics) and for the in-person component of hybrid MHSc courses. Required core MHSc courses are designed as hybrid (i.e., roughly one-third of the course conducted in person and two-thirds online) or online courses with both synchronous and asynchronous elements. Most electives are also delivered using a hybrid or online modality.

The program's interactive, problem-based learning approach provides students with knowledge and skills that can be applied to a variety of health, health care, and health research contexts. Interaction with expert faculty and guest speakers, a practicum experience, and an independent capstone project in applied bioethics will help students bring theory and practice together to address real-world bioethics challenges. (Note: students interested in a research-stream program should consider the Collaborative Specialization in Bioethics.)

Social Justice Education: Social Justice Education EdD

The Doctor of Education (EdD) degree program is distinct from the PhD in that students are encouraged to orient towards applied and theoretical dimensions of professional educational practice understood as knowledge, teaching, and learning which takes place within or beyond schooling.

The EdD in Social Justice Education (SJE) is ideal for those with an interest in professional and/or voluntary practice in relevant field domains, where there is a relation between theory and practice and where the skills and commitment of dedicated and research-informed practitioners are pivotal to outcomes. Those interested in the degree program will be professionals including teachers, school and community leaders, health and legal professionals, and those working, volunteering, or seeking employment in related fields in social justice education.

The Department of Social Justice Education welcomes applicants with diverse, relevant backgrounds. The EdD program can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.

Students cannot transfer between the EdD and PhD programs.

Delivery options: EdD programs are delivered in-person with the possibility of completing the program requirements through a hybrid delivery mode — students will experience a mix of modes of engagement with some of their coursework and other program requirements in-person, and between one-third and two-thirds of their coursework online.

Applicants must apply to each program separately; they should indicate on their applications that they wish to be considered for the CDP. The MA program in English must be completed by coursework, not by thesis.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

Students in the following MSW fields who enter with a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) will be given advanced standing and are exempted from completing Year 1 of the MSW. They will complete Years 1, 3, and 4 of the CDP only, thereby completing the CDP in three years.

  • Children and Their Families;
  • Gerontology;
  • Health and Mental Health;
  • Human Services Management and Leadership;
  • Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency;
  • Social Justice and Diversity.

The MSW field in Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency does not have an advanced-standing option.

STG Kin BKin / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): STG, Bachelor of Kinesiology / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of kinesiology and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn a Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) degree from the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

Minimum Admission Requirements

To be considered for conditional admission to the MT program and the CDP, applicants must meet the following admission requirements:

  • Be admitted to the BKin program.
  • Meet the admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and the MT program.
  • Be enrolled full-time and in good standing in the BKin program:
    • Have an average grade equivalent to a mid-B (cumulative grade point average [CGPA] of 3.0) or higher, normally demonstrated by an average grade in Year 2.
  • If applying to the Intermediate/Senior (I/S) division, have completed at least half of the teaching subjects’ prerequisite courses — i.e., 3.0 full-course equivalents [FCEs] in the first teaching subject and a minimum of 1.0 FCE (or 2.0 FCEs where applicable) in the second teaching subject by the end of Year 3. For more information, see MT Intermediate/Senior Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Junior/Intermediate (J/I) division, have completed at least half of the prerequisite courses in one teaching subject, which is normally accomplished within the major program the applicant is registered in. For more information, see MT Junior/Intermediate Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Primary/Junior (P/J) division, there is no requirement to have teaching subjects' prerequisite courses.
  • Provide at least two letters of reference, one academic and one professional.
  • Submit an application to the specific division(s) of interest (i.e., Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate, or Intermediate/Senior). Applicants are required to respond to questions as outlined on the Master of Teaching website under Faculty Questions, and describe significant teaching and/or teaching-related experiences that they have had, especially with groups of learners. With reference to these experiences, applicants should identify insights gained about teaching and learning, and explain how, based on these insights, they might contribute to the education of students in today's schools. In their resumé, applicants are requested to list, in chart form, the extent of their teaching experiences.
  • Meet other qualifications as specified by the MT program (a police record check, relevant teaching experiences, academic and professional references, and satisfying teaching subject prerequisites). Note: only if applying to the Intermediate/Senior division, prerequisite courses in two teaching subjects are required; or if applying to the Junior/Intermediate division, prerequisite courses in one teaching subject are required.

To be given full, unconditional admission to the MT program, applicants must meet the following admission requirements:

  • Maintain a mid-B average (CGPA of 3.0) or higher in their final year of study in the BKin program.
  • Achieve at least a B average in the 1.0 graduate FCE taken in Year 4.
  • If registered in the Intermediate/Senior division, complete the prerequisites for both the first and second teaching subjects; or if registered in the Junior/Intermediate division, complete the prerequisites for one teaching subject as follows:
    • Complete 6.0 FCEs in the first teaching subject (i.e., health and physical education).
    • For those registered in the Intermediate/Senior division only, complete the prerequisites for a second teaching subject consisting of at least 3.0 FCEs. However, if students are pursuing French as a Second Language or a science as their second teaching subject, a minimum of 6.0 FCEs are required.
      • Students should consult often with their BKin academic program supervisor to ensure they fulfil all the requirements of the CDP.
  • Be conferred with the BKin degree.

  • Be enrolled full-time and in good standing in the HBSc program:
    • Have an average grade equivalent to a mid-B (cumulative grade point average [CGPA] of 3.0) or higher in Year 2.
    • Carry a full course load of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) each year (i.e., complete a minimum of 5.0 FCEs over the three academic sessions [Fall, Winter, Summer]).
  • If applying to the Intermediate/Senior (I/S) division, have completed at least half of the teaching subjects' prerequisite courses — i.e., 3.0 FCEs in the first teaching subject and 1.5 FCEs in the second teaching subject (or 3.0 FCEs if the second teaching subject is French or a science) by the end of Year 3. For more information, see MT Intermediate/Senior Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Junior/Intermediate (J/I) division, have completed at least half of the prerequisite courses in one teaching subject, which is normally accomplished within the major program the applicant is registered in. For more information, see MT Junior/Intermediate Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Primary/Junior (P/J) division, there is no requirement to have teaching subjects' prerequisite courses.
  • Provide at least two letters of reference, one academic and one professional.
  • Submit an application to the specific division(s) of interest (i.e., Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate, or Intermediate/Senior). Applicants are required to respond to questions as outlined on the Master of Teaching website under Faculty Questions, and describe significant teaching and/or teaching-related experiences that they have had, especially with groups of learners. With reference to these experiences, applicants should identify insights gained about teaching and learning, and explain how, based on these insights, they might contribute to the education of students in today's schools. In their resumé, applicants are requested to list, in chart form, the extent of their teaching experiences.
  • Meet other qualifications as specified by the MT program (a police record check, relevant teaching experiences, academic and professional references, and satisfying teaching subject prerequisites). Note: only if applying to the Intermediate/Senior division, prerequisite courses in two teaching subjects are required; or if applying to the Junior/Intermediate division, prerequisite courses in one teaching subject are required.

To be given full, unconditional admission to the MT program, applicants must meet the following admission requirements:

  • Maintain a mid-B average (CGPA of 3.0) or higher in their final year of study in the HBSc program or over upper-level (C- and D-level) courses.
  • Achieve at least a B average in the 1.0 graduate FCE taken in Year 4.
  • If registered in the Intermediate/Senior division, complete the prerequisites for both the first and second teaching subjects; or if registered in the Junior/Intermediate division, complete the prerequisites for one teaching subject as follows:
    • Complete the specialist in Biology, which fulfils the 6.0 FCEs required for Science-Biology as a first teaching subject.
    • For those registered in the Intermediate/Senior division only, complete the prerequisites for a second teaching subject consisting of at least 3.0 FCEs. However, if students are pursuing French as a Second Language or a science as their second teaching subject, a minimum of 6.0 FCEs are required.
      • Students should consult often with their HBSc academic program supervisor to ensure they fulfil all the requirements of the CDP.
  • Be conferred with the HBSc degree.

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Science, Major in Biology / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

  • Be admitted to the HBSc degree program and the Biology major program.
  • Meet the admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and the MT program.
  • Be enrolled full-time and in good standing in the HBSc program:
    • Have a mid-B average (cumulative grade point average [CGPA] of 3.0) or higher in Year 2.
    • Carry a full course load of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) each year (i.e., complete a minimum of 5.0 FCEs over the three academic sessions [Fall, Winter, Summer]).
  • If applying to the Intermediate/Senior (I/S) division, have completed at least half of the teaching subjects' prerequisite courses — i.e., 3.0 FCEs in the first teaching subject and 1.5 FCEs in the second teaching subject (or 3.0 FCEs if the second teaching subject is French or a science) by the end of Year 3. For more information, see MT Intermediate/Senior Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Junior/Intermediate (J/I) division, have completed at least half of the prerequisite courses in one teaching subject, which is normally accomplished within the major program the applicant is registered in. For more information, see MT Junior/Intermediate Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Primary/Junior (P/J) division, there is no requirement to have teaching subjects' prerequisite courses.
  • Provide at least two letters of reference, one academic and one professional.
  • Submit an application to the specific division(s) of interest (i.e., Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate, or Intermediate/Senior). Applicants are required to respond to questions as outlined on the Master of Teaching website under Faculty Questions and describe significant teaching and/or teaching-related experiences that they have had, especially with groups of learners. With reference to these experiences, applicants should identify insights gained about teaching and learning, and explain how, based on these insights, they might contribute to the education of students in today's schools. In their resumé, applicants are requested to list, in chart form, the extent of their teaching experiences.
  • Meet other qualifications as specified by the MT program (a police record check, relevant teaching experiences, academic and professional references, and satisfying teaching subject prerequisites). Note: only if applying to the Intermediate/Senior division, prerequisite courses in two teaching subjects are required; or if applying to the Junior/Intermediate division, prerequisite courses in one teaching subject are required.

To be given full, unconditional admission to the MT program, applicants must meet the following admission requirements:

  • Maintain a mid-B average (CGPA of 3.0) or higher in their final year of study in the HBSc program or over upper-level (C- and D-level) courses.
  • Achieve at least a B average in the 1.0 graduate FCE taken in Year 4.
  • If registered in the Intermediate/Senior division, complete the prerequisites for both the first and second teaching subjects; or if registered in the Junior/Intermediate division, complete the prerequisites for one teaching subject as follows:
    • Complete the major in Biology, which fulfils the 6.0 FCEs required for Science-Biology as a first teaching subject.
    • For those registered in the Intermediate/Senior division only, complete the prerequisites for a second teaching subject consisting of at least 3.0 FCEs. However, if students are pursuing French as a Second Language or a science as their second teaching subject, a minimum of 6.0 FCEs are required.
      • Students should consult often with their HBSc academic program supervisor to ensure they fulfil all the requirements of the CDP.
  • Be conferred with the HBSc degree.

Academic Path to Completion

Every CDP involves a specific combination of approved degree programs. The CDP requirements build on those of the two separate degree programs. Each CDP has a unique pattern of academic activity year by year.

UTSC Eng (Maj) HBA / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Arts, Major in English / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Science, Specialist in Environmental Chemistry / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

UTSC Fre (Spec) HBA / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Arts, Specialist in French / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of French and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Applicants to the MT program must have strong content knowledge in two teaching subjects taught in Ontario schools regardless of the division they are applying to (see the admission requirements below for details).

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

UTSC His (Spec) HBA / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Arts, Specialist in History / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

UTSC Mat (Spec Co-op) HBSc / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Science, Specialist Co-op in Mathematics / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of math and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

UTSC Mol Bio Biotech (Spec) HBSc / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Science, Specialist in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

UTSC Phy Mat Sci (Spec) HBSc / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Science, Specialist in Physical and Mathematical Sciences / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

    • Have a mid-B average (cumulative grade point average [CGPA] of 3.0) or higher in Year 2.
    • Carry a full course load of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) each year (i.e., complete a minimum of 5.0 FCEs over the three academic sessions [Fall, Winter, Summer]).
  • If applying to the Intermediate/Senior (I/S) division, have completed at least half of the teaching subjects’ prerequisite courses — i.e., 3.0 FCEs in the first teaching subject and 1.5 FCEs in the second teaching subject (or 3.0 FCEs if the second teaching subject is French or a science) by the end of Year 3. For more information, see MT Intermediate/Senior Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Junior/Intermediate (J/I) division, have completed at least half of the prerequisite courses in one teaching subject, which is normally accomplished within the major program the applicant is registered in. For more information, see MT Junior/Intermediate Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Primary/Junior (P/J) division, there is no requirement to have teaching subjects' prerequisite courses.
  • Provide at least two letters of reference, one academic and one professional.
  • Submit an application to the specific division(s) of interest (i.e., Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate, or Intermediate/Senior). Applicants are required to respond to questions as outlined on the Master of Teaching website under Faculty Questions and describe significant teaching and/or teaching-related experiences that they have had, especially with groups of learners. With reference to these experiences, applicants should identify insights gained about teaching and learning, and explain how, based on these insights, they might contribute to the education of students in today's schools. In their resumé, applicants are requested to list, in chart form, the extent of their teaching experiences.
  • Meet other qualifications as specified by the MT program (a police record check, relevant teaching experiences, academic and professional references, and satisfying teaching subject prerequisites). Note: only if applying to the Intermediate/Senior division prerequisite courses in two teaching subjects are required; or if applying to the Junior/Intermediate division prerequisite courses in one teaching subject are required).

To be given full, unconditional admission to the MT program, applicants must:

  • Maintain a mid-B average (CGPA of 3.0) or higher in their final year of study in the HBSc program or over upper-level (C- and D-level) courses.
  • Achieve at least a B average in the 1.0 graduate FCE taken in Year 4.
  • If registered in the Intermediate/Senior division, complete the prerequisites for both the first and second teaching subjects; or if registered in the Junior/Intermediate division, complete the prerequisites for one teaching subject as follows:
    • Complete the specialist in Physical and Mathematical Sciences, which fulfils the 6.0 FCEs required for Science-Physics as a first teaching subject.
    • For those registered in the Intermediate/Senior division only, complete the prerequisites for a second teaching subject consisting of at least 3.0 FCEs. However, if students are pursuing French as a Second Language or a science as their second teaching subject, a minimum of 6.0 FCEs are required.
      • Students should consult often with their HBSc academic program supervisor to ensure they fulfil all the requirements of the CDP.
  • Be conferred with the HBSc degree.

    • Have a mid-B average (cumulative grade point average [CGPA] of 3.0) or higher in Year 2.
    • Carry a full course load of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) each year (i.e., complete a minimum of 5.0 FCEs over the three academic sessions [Fall, Winter, Summer]).
  • If applying to the Intermediate/Senior (I/S) division, have completed at least half the teaching subjects’ prerequisite courses — i.e., 3.0 FCEs in the first teaching subject and 1.5 FCEs in the second teaching subject (or 3.0 FCEs if the second teaching subject is French or a science) by the end of Year 3. For more information, see MT Intermediate/Senior Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.
  • If applying to the Junior/Intermediate (J/I) division, have completed at least half of the prerequisite courses in one teaching subject, which is normally accomplished within the major program the applicant is registered in. For more information, see MT Junior/Intermediate Teaching Subjects Prerequisites.

  • Provide at least two letters of reference, one academic and one professional.
  • Submit an application to the specific division(s) of interest (i.e., Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate, or Intermediate/Senior). Applicants are required to respond to questions as outlined on the Master of Teaching website under Faculty Questions and describe significant teaching and/or teaching-related experiences that they have had, especially with groups of learners. With reference to these experiences, applicants should identify insights gained about teaching and learning, and explain how, based on these insights, they might contribute to the education of students in today's schools. In their resumé, applicants are requested to list, in chart form, the extent of their teaching experiences.
  • Meet other qualifications as specified by the MT program (a police record check, relevant teaching experiences, academic and professional references, and satisfying teaching subject prerequisites). Note: only if applying to the Intermediate/Senior division prerequisite courses in two teaching subjects are required; or if applying to the Junior/Intermediate division prerequisite courses in one teaching subject are required).

To be given full, unconditional admission to the MT program, applicants must meet the following admission requirements:

  • Maintain a mid-B average (CGPA of 3.0) or higher in their final year of study in the HBA program or over upper-level (C- and D-level) courses.
  • Achieve at least a B average in the 1.0 graduate FCE taken in Year 4.
  • If registered in the Intermediate/Senior division, complete the prerequisites for both the first and second teaching subjects; or if registered in the Junior/Intermediate division, complete the prerequisites for one teaching subject as follows:
    • Complete the major in Socio-Cultural Anthropology, which fulfils the 6.0 FCEs required for Social Science-General as a first teaching subject.
    • For those registered in the Intermediate/Senior division only, complete the prerequisites for a second teaching subject consisting of at least 3.0 FCEs. However, if students are pursuing French as a Second Language or a science as their second teaching subject, a minimum of 6.0 FCEs are required.
      • Students should consult often with their HBA academic program supervisor to ensure they fulfil all the requirements of the CDP.
  • Be conferred with the HBA degree.

Academic Path to Completion

Every CDP involves a specific combination of approved degree programs. The CDP requirements build on those of the two separate degree programs. Each CDP has a unique pattern of academic activity year by year.

    • a minimum of 3.0 FCEs in the second teaching subject (Intermediate/Senior only).1
  • For Intermediate/Senior only, by the end of Year 3, complete at least half of the teaching subjects' prerequisite courses — i.e., 3.0 FCEs in the first teaching subject and 1.5 FCEs in the second teaching subject (or 3.0 FCEs if the second teaching subject is French or a science).
  • For Junior/Intermediate, by the end of Year 3, complete at least half of the prerequisite courses for one teaching subject (a minimum of 3.0 credits is required for applying to J/I). Note: 5.0 FCEs are required for the French as a Second Language teaching subject.
  • In Year 4, students who receive a conditional offer of admission to the CDP must complete any two of the MT elective half courses recommended for CDP students. These courses (1.0 FCE) are counted towards the completion of both the HBA and MT degree programs.
5 and 6
  • Remaining courses from Year 1 and Year 2 of the MT program.
  • 10.0 FCEs during Year 1 and Year 2 of the MT program.
1 The teaching subjects French (Second Language), Science-Biology, Science-Chemistry, Science-Physics, and Science-General require a minimum of 6.0 FCEs in university courses regardless of whether these teaching subjects are first or second subject specializations.
* The MT program has three divisions: Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate, and Intermediate/Senior. The specific requirements vary based on which division is selected. For details, see the MT calendar entry.

UTSC Soc Ant (Spec) HBA / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTSC, Honours Bachelor of Arts, Specialist in Socio-Cultural Anthropology / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of science and education, coupled with professional teacher preparation.

Students earn an honours bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). They will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications as elementary or secondary school teachers. Distinct advantages include:

  • early application to the MT program (in Year 3) and conditional admission to the MT program;
  • eligibility for certification as a teacher in Ontario; and
  • eligibility to apply for doctoral study.

This CDP permits the completion of both degrees in six years with 1.0 credit (full-course equivalent [FCE]) that may be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.
