Overview
 
This fully online program recognizes the growing need for individuals with the knowledge, competencies, and skills to facilitate teaching and learning with technology. The Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies prepares a new kind of leader-expert essential to the knowledge-based economy; an educational expert who possesses both a broad social understanding of education and a critical understanding of digital technologies for learning.

All students will be required to complete the program’s nine core education courses (27 credits).

For the remaining 33 credits, students can choose electives from four themes:  Early Childhood Studies, Adult Learning with Technology, Digital Technologies, and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. By choosing at least four electives (12 credits) from a specific theme, students can apply for that  specialization to appear on their transcript.

Note: The Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies program does not qualify a graduate for membership in the Ontario College of Teachers or to teach in Ontario’s elementary and secondary school systems.
 
The Educational Studies specialization in Adult Learning with Technology is a research-based and industry-responsive specialization that develops the understanding and skills to work in learning and development in various fields such as business, government, and non-profit organizations. Students will develop inclusive adult educational spaces, with a focus on the use of digital technologies for learning.
