Concurrent Education

Apply to our Concurrent Education as a future or current Ontario Tech student to secure a spot in our teacher education program (BEd) after completion of your four-year undergraduate degree.

Program description

Many students apply to Bachelor of Education programs to become a K-12 teacher after completion of their four-year university degree.  The acceptance rate for this strategy is 10 to 30 per cent because teacher education programs are highly competitive. 

However, there is a second strategy—apply to our Bachelor of Education program while you are completing your undergraduate degree. Also known as our Concurrent Education program, this option allows current and future Ontario Tech students to apply for guaranteed entry* into our Bachelor of Education (BEd). 

*Provided that you maintain the requisite grades, a spot will be reserved for you in our BEd program upon completion of your undergraduate degree.

Options

As a future or current Ontario Tech Student (enrolled in your first, second or third year), you can apply to our:

• Primary/Junior division (teaching kindergarten to grade 6) or 
• Intermediate/Senior division (teaching grades 7 to 12)

All applicants to full-time undergraduate programs should apply in one of two ways; choose only one.

Option one:

The OUAC online application system allows you to apply to multiple Ontario universities or programs with one application. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Apply online using the OUAC website using the 105 application.
2. Be sure to apply by the application deadline for the program to which you want to be admitted—you can choose up to three programs.
3. Once the university receives your application from the OUAC, we will send you information regarding the next steps in the admissions process.

Option two:

If you are only applying to Ontario Tech, apply internally at ontariotechu.ca/internationalapplication. You can apply to three programs for a $100 application fee.

Note:If you're a student with a disability and want to be considered for admission on the basis of disability, please visit our special considerations page.
