Part-time students may begin their program in September, January or July. Full-time students are normally considered for September admission.

Applicants who do not have professional teaching experience or a B.Ed. degree, but who have a record of high academic achievement (80% or higher) in an Honours Degree or its equivalent as well as demonstrated exceptional ability to undertake research, are also encouraged to apply.  A maximum of five full-time students may qualify for special admissions annually.

Prior to admission, applicants in this category must present courses that constitute preparation for research in education and, in Pattern I (thesis route), they must develop a program of study with a member of Graduate Faculty.

The program of study may require more than the normal 10 half-courses, and may include courses from other Faculty programs. The program of study must be approved by the Faculty's Graduate Studies and Research Committee before the application can be approved.

Applications are due by January 15th, 2013. Most acceptances are adjudicated in late February.

Full-time students are normally considered for September admission. A new application and non-refundable application fee are required if the applicant for September 2013 is accepted but requests to begin the program in July 2013 instead.

Part-time students may begin their program in September, January or July. Note that part-time applicants who choose to apply for July 2013 admission are applying to the last term of the 2012/2013 academic year.  A new application and non-refundable application fee are required if the applicant for July 2013 is accepted but requests to begin the program in September 2013 instead.

Late Applications

Applications will be accepted from domestic applicants until April 15, 2013, including the submission of all supporting documentation, for the 2013/2014 academic year if there is still space in the program after the original offers of admission have been made.

Late applications are not accepted from international applicants. All available spaces in the program are filled by applicants who submit their application and all supporting documentation by the January deadline.
