Description:

Our Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Educational Studies (Advanced Entry) is a fully online program designed for students who have completed an Ontario college diploma, Ontario college advanced diploma or equivalent. You will develop critical knowledge and skills in Educational Studies, including foundations of learning, creating digital tools for education, assessment for learning and foundations of EDI.


This specialization in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion develops expertise with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to recognize systemic, historic and attitudinal barriers that contribute to discrimination and oppression in both workplace learning and classroom settings. Students will use problem-based learning and critical reflection to identify issues, evaluate resources and articulate solutions to EDI issues in Canadian education and society to counter bias and discrimination against under-represented and equity-deserving groups. Our EDI specialization focuses on creating pathways to full inclusion for everyone in education.
