Eligibility Criteria
Applicants are admitted under the general regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants normally must have the equivalent of a University of Toronto four-year bachelor’s degree with standing equivalent to a University of Toronto mid-B or better in the final year. Applicants are also expected to have experience working with groups of children. Final selection will be based on an interview by a panel of faculty, teachers, and students. Given the limited number of students in this program, not all eligible applicants can be admitted.
Applicants apply for admission to this program through either the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning or the Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology. Admission and degree requirements for the program are the same for both departments. Because applicants are applying to a teacher education program, the following items must be submitted with the application:
A photocopy of a Canadian birth certificate, or in the case of a person who was not born in Canada, documents showing the basis upon which the applicant is present in Canada, including date and place of birth
A photocopy of a certificate of change of name where applicable
Satisfactory evidence of freedom from tuberculosis (required by the Ontario College of Teachers)
Note: In addition, a criminal record check is required for certification by the Ontario College of Teachers.
