Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): UTM, Honours Bachelor of Science, Specialist in Forensic Biology / Master of Teaching (MT) is designed for students interested in studying the intersections of biology and education. Students may apply studies in these areas towards professional training leading to teacher certification.

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 University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) 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.

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