See program sections for specific admission requirements.
Students are selected on the basis of academic standing, letters of recommendation, Statement of Intent, and relevant experience.
With the exception of the M.Ed. program, the department does not ordinarily consider applications for admission to degree programs commencing in January. Students may begin the M.Ed. program in September, January, or July.
Most applicants apply to only one of the department's programs. However, applicants are permitted to apply to two programs. Those applying to two programs should clearly designate the programs and the order of preference. Applications will not be reviewed until this information is provided. Requests for transfer from one program to another after admission are normally considered each year in a pool with all other applicants to the program. See the department's Program Guidelines booklet for more information. Note that even if students requesting a transfer meet the basic requirements of the program they wish to enter, the request may be refused due to the competitive nature of the admission process.
Statement of Intent
Applicants for degrees that include a thesis should include with their application a research statement of one or two pages describing their research experience and interests, and as far as is possible at this stage, a plan for the research that they would like to conduct, including the methods to be used and the population to be studied. Applicants for degrees without a thesis should write a statement describing their interests, accomplishments and aspirations in the relevant field.
For information about financial support for students see pages 241 - 247. Applicants should note that although some students do receive financial support from OISE/UT, such support is very limited and many students are unsuccessful in their attempt to secure funding through OISE/UT.
