STG Soc (Maj) HBA / MT: Introduction

Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): STG, Honours Bachelor of Arts, Major in Sociology / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of sociology 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 a bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Arts and Science and an accredited professional Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), St. George (STG) campus. 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.
