| Prerequisites Notes | Candidates holding a baccalaureate with honours in education or equivalent (a general baccalaureate and a teaching certificate obtained after at least one year of teacher education), with a minimum overall undergraduate average of 70% (B), may be admitted directly to the master's program, except for Educational Counselling. Candidates who hold an honours baccalaureate with at least 70% (B) average but who do not hold an honours baccalaureate degree in education are required to take an Extended Program comprised of three additional courses. These courses are intended to expose candidates to foundational concepts, theories, and research in education. Candidates can request a reduction in the number of required Extended Program courses on the basis of previous university course work and/or professional experience that is directly related to education. Requests must be made in writing to the Admission Committee at the time of application to the MEd Program and must include all relevant information and documents relating to the courses and/or work experience for which credit is sought.
Educational counselling candidates must have a minimum of 5 university courses (15 credits) in the Social Sciences. A minimum of 3 out of these 5 courses (9 credits) must be advanced courses (i.e. 2nd year or higher) in psychology; one of the psychology courses must be a course in personality theories. In addition to these requirements, candidates must present a written outline of their research interests. Admission will be dependent on the availability of a thesis supervisor whose research interests are compatible with the student's area of interest. | | |
