Educational Studies - General

Our Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies develops exceptional educators and leaders in careers such as teaching, instructional design, multimedia and e-learning, and educational consulting.

Our Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies is an innovative hybrid program (online and in-person courses) designed to provide maximum flexibility and choice. You will develop critical knowledge and skills in Educational Studies, leading to potential careers as teachers, instructional designers, trainers, learning specialists and education consultants.

We offer a wide range of online courses focusing on foundations of learning, digital technologies, early childhood education, instructional design, and equity, diversity and inclusion. Elective courses from other faculties allow you to experience face-to-face learning while exploring various subjects of interest.

If you are interested in becoming a teacher after completing this degree, you should also apply to the Concurrent Education program (see the admissions section below for details on the application process).

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.
