Comparing an MEd Against MA & MT Degrees?

Master of Education (MEd) degrees are designed for professionals working in education-related fields. A Master of Arts (MA) degree is designed to provide opportunities for study, research, and theoretical analysis.

If you are looking for Teacher Education and a credential that leads to certification with the Ontario College of Teachers, then you should look at either the Master of Teaching (MT) or the Master of Arts in Child Study and Education (MA).
