History of Education

The History of Education Specialization was founded in 1966 and has played a leading role in the history of education, both in Canada and internationally.

The History of Education Specialization degrees range from:

The M.Ed. and Ed.D. degrees are intended primarily for educational practitioners while the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees are intended for research-oriented scholars who wish to apply their discipline to education.

Both the Ed.D. and Ph.D. programs have a minimum period of full-time study. The M.Ed. and M.A. programs may be pursued on a full- or part-time basis. All degree programs require a thesis except the M.Ed. program, which requires a major research project/paper.

In addition to the Minimum Admission, Program and Degree requirements, M.A. and Ph.D. applicants are normally expected to have a substantial undergraduate concentration in history. Candidates with undergraduate concentrations in one or more several cognate disciplines in the social sciences and humanities will also be considered for admission.

The general requirements for these degrees are outlined in the 1999/2000 OISE/UT Bulletin.
