Program Structure

The Concurrent Teacher Education Program allows you to complete the requirements for an undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Education degree and your professional teacher qualification simultaneously.

Your undergraduate degree program (HBA, HBSc, BMus or BPHE) provides you with the necessary knowledge in your teaching areas along with several introductory education-focused courses and field experiences. 

The Bachelor of Education degree is focused on developing practical skills to effectively apply the subject-specific knowledge you gained in your undergraduate degree program to the teaching profession.

Program Features

• The Concurrent Teacher Education Program allows you to earn two undergraduate degrees simultaneously while exploring issues in education early in your post-secondary career, and developing as professionals over a longer period of time (5 years).
• Through fieldwork and interaction with the broader community, you will participate in more than 90 days of guided practical experiences with children and young people in diverse teaching contexts.
• Our program puts the principles of equity, diversity and social justice at the forefront. You will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in these areas in educational settings.
• The Program connects you with both a highly committed faculty and staff at the University of Toronto, as well as the social and educational communities in the Greater Toronto Area.
