General information
This fully online program recognizes the growing importance of formal and informal lifelong learning as seen in the expanding professional development needs of post-secondary instructors, as well as similar needs in the corporate, governmental, community-based, and professional workplace environments. As the educational needs of these large institutions and organizations continue to grow outside the traditional university and college-based educational system, and as human resources departments turn their attention to the economic benefits of just-in-time, online learning opportunities, there is an increased need for individuals with the knowledge, competencies, and skills associated with teaching and learning in adult education environments in the digital age. The Faculty of Education’s Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies and Digital Technology (BA in ESDT) intends to prepare a new kind of expert essential to the knowledge-based economy; an expert who possesses both a broad social understanding of either adult or childhood education and the specialized knowledge and competency base in either adult or childhood education with a focus in the use of digital technologies for learning.
Note: The Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies and Digital Technology program does not qualify a graduate for membership in the Ontario College of Teachers or to teach in Ontario’s elementary and secondary school systems.
Admission requirements
Admission is competitive. Regardless of educational background, all applicants to undergraduate programs must have specific prerequisite subject knowledge for their intended program of study. The specific average or standing required for admission will vary from year to year. Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjects relevant to the academic program. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications.
The BA in ESDT program is available through advanced entry. The BA in ESDT is currently admitting graduates with an Ontario college diploma or equivalent, with an overall B average or better. These students can receive up to 60 transfer credits toward the degree.
