Studying Education in Ontario

Western University

Apply to Bachelor of Education (BEd) – Teacher Education program, applied through TEAS (Teacher Education Application Service), not OUAC 101

Education at Western is not a Grade 12 / OUAC 101 program at all, so none of the codes in your list (EE, EW, EP, ENW, ED, ESM, EMS, EA, ECS, EFS, EAV, EH, EDN, EI, EMA, EM, ES, EO) lead to it. It's a "consecutive" professional program you can only enter after finishing an undergraduate degree elsewhere at Western (or another school) first. Confirmed on Western's own Faculty of Education pages: applicants must be on track to finish an undergraduate degree by August 31 of the entry year, need at least 10 full undergraduate credits done, a minimum average around 70-75%, and they apply through TEAS/OUAC's separate teacher-education application, not through the regular Grade 12 OUAC 101 form. So a Grade 12 student cannot apply straight into Education at Western — they'd first pick one of the listed direct-entry programs (e.g. Arts and Humanities, Social Science, Science) to complete a bachelor's degree, then apply to the BEd afterward as a second-entry/consecutive program.

McMaster University

Apply to not offered at McMaster University

McMaster does not have a Bachelor of Education program at all, concurrent or otherwise. McMaster's own Student Success Centre page on teacher education confirms this: Ontario B.Ed. programs are second-entry, applied to after completing a 3- or 4-year undergraduate degree, usually through the OUAC TEAS (Teacher Education Application Service) system with a December 1st deadline. Schools like Redeemer and Tyndale accept direct B.Ed. applications, and Queen's/Brock/Ottawa/etc. offer concurrent education entered straight from high school, but none of those are McMaster. So a Grade 12 student wanting to become a teacher via McMaster would instead pick any McMaster undergraduate degree (e.g. Honours Humanities, Social Sciences, Science) from this list, finish it, and then apply separately to a B.Ed. program elsewhere after graduating - McMaster itself does not run one.

University of Toronto — St. George

Apply to not offered at St. George as a Grade 12 program — Education is a second-entry program at OISE (Bachelor of Education), applied to via TEAS after completing an undergraduate degree

There is no OUAC undergraduate code for Education at U of T St. George. Teacher training happens at OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education), which only admits students who already hold a bachelor's degree. Applicants apply through TEAS (Teacher Education Application Service), a completely separate system from the OUAC 101 undergraduate application a high schooler fills out. A Grade 12 student who wants to become a teacher should pick a related undergraduate major (e.g. through Humanities, Social Sciences, or Life Sciences) first, finish that degree, then apply to OISE's Bachelor of Education afterward. Note: "Music Education (TD)" in the supplied list is a Bachelor of Music program with an education specialization, not a route into general K-12 teacher certification — don't confuse the two.

University of Toronto — Mississauga

Apply to Humanities (TMH)

You choose education UTM's own Education Studies program page lists it under "Admission Category: Humanities, OUAC Code TMH" rather than giving it its own code, so you apply through the Humanities entry point (TMH) and then choose the Education Studies major once you're in the Humanities stream at UTM (Humanities majors/POSts are normally selected after first year)..

Two big traps here. First, UTM's actual undergraduate "Education" program is called Education Studies (an Honours BA about educational theory, tech, policy, careers like teacher/guidance counsellor/professor) — it is NOT teacher certification. Second, UTM's Concurrent Teacher Education Program (CTEP), which used to let high-schoolers enter straight into a combined BA/BEd with a teaching license, has been discontinued for direct entry from high school (announced when Ontario moved to the 2-year B.Ed. requirement) — so there is no route from Grade 12 into a licensed-teacher degree at UTM. If this student actually wants to become a certified teacher, they need to finish an undergraduate degree first and then apply to a B.Ed. (e.g., through OISE) as a second-entry, after-degree program — not something you apply to on this OUAC application. Also note the prerequisite: Education Studies requires ENG4U.

University of Toronto — Scarborough

Apply to not offered at UTSC (Concurrent Teacher Education Program suspended to new enrolments)

UTSC used to let students enter a 5-year Concurrent Teacher Education Program (CTEP) straight from high school, earning a BA/BSc/BBA plus a BEd together. The UTSC Calendar now states this program is suspended, so no current OUAC code on this campus's list leads into it. To become a teacher after studying at UTSC, you'd first finish a regular undergraduate degree (e.g. Social Sciences & Humanities, Life Sciences, etc. from the list) and then apply separately, as a second-entry step, to a consecutive Bachelor of Education program - either through OISE at U of T (via the School of Graduate Studies, not OUAC) or through another Ontario university's Faculty of Education via the Teacher Education Application Service (TEAS). So there is genuinely no Grade 12 route into 'education' at UTSC itself right now; pick an undergraduate major you like and plan for teacher's college afterward.

University of Waterloo

Apply to not offered as a direct-entry major at Waterloo

Waterloo has no Bachelor of Education you can apply to straight out of Grade 12, and "education" is not one of the OUAC entry points on the supplied list. Waterloo's own program page says you pursue a B.Ed. either through one of Waterloo's teaching specializations or by applying to a Faculty of Education once you graduate from Waterloo. Concretely, the only undergrad-level "teaching" routes are: (1) Mathematics/Teaching, which is a specialization inside Honours Mathematics (OUAC WM) that you apply to as a major in your 2A term - it gives you paid classroom co-op experience but you still must apply separately later to a Bachelor of Education program; (2) the French Teaching Specialization, which gives an Honours BA in French (Faculty of Arts, OUAC WA) plus a reserved path into Nipissing University's B.Ed.; and (3) the Fine Arts Teaching Preparation Specialization, also under Honours Arts (OUAC WA), with reserved Nipissing B.Ed. spaces. In every case, the actual Bachelor of Education is a second-entry, post-graduate credential (at Nipissing or elsewhere), not something you enter directly from high school - so if this student's goal is specifically "become a teacher," the realistic Grade 12 move is to apply to WM (if they want the math-teaching co-op route) or WA (for the French or Fine Arts teaching specializations), knowing the B.Ed itself comes later and elsewhere. Since none of the listed codes is itself an "Education" program, I'm returning no direct slug rather than guessing which base program this student meant.

University of Guelph

Apply to not offered at the University of Guelph

Guelph has no Bachelor of Education and no concurrent education programme — it does not appear anywhere in Guelph's full undergraduate listing. Ontario teacher education is almost entirely second-entry: you finish a bachelor's degree first, then apply to a BEd. Child Studies (BASc, GCS) and Family Studies and Human Development (BASc, GFD) are the closest undergraduate routes if you intend to teach later.

Carleton University

Apply to not offered at Carleton University

Carleton has no Bachelor of Education and no concurrent education programme — nothing by that name appears in its 129-entry A-Z listing. Ontario teacher education is almost entirely second-entry, after a first degree. Childhood and Youth Studies is a BA major for students heading toward work with children.

Wilfrid Laurier University — Waterloo

Apply to not offered from Grade 12 — Laurier's BEd is second-entry

Laurier's BEd is second-entry — its own page says it 'requires an undergraduate degree' — and there is no concurrent education code from Grade 12. What Laurier does offer is a Teaching Option inside certain honours degrees (Psychology, History, French, Kinesiology, Music and others): apply to one of those, take the Teaching Option's 4.0 credits, hold a 10.5 GPA on your final ten credits, and a BEd place is guaranteed on graduation. Laurier says only students who applied for an honours degree with the Teaching Option are considered for that direct route.

Toronto Metropolitan University

Apply to not offered at TMU

TMU has no Bachelor of Education and no concurrent education programme — nothing by that name among its 65 codes. Early Childhood Studies (SEH, 70-75%) and Child and Youth Care (SCY, 70-75%) are the child-focused degrees, neither of which is teacher certification.

Ontario Tech University

Apply to Educational Studies (DST)

You choose education after your BA — Concurrent Education gives advanced acceptance into the 16-month BEd, dependent on GPA and subject specialization.

Ontario Tech's education route from Grade 12 is a Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies (DST, low-70s; DFT co-op), not a BEd. Its Concurrent Education option, in Ontario Tech's words, lets you 'apply for advanced acceptance into the Consecutive Education program', so on finishing the four-year BA you 'enter directly into the 16-month Bachelor of Education' — acceptance 'dependent on GPA and subject specialization requirements'. Graduates are recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for certification. Several streams share the range: Special Education (DES), Early Childhood Studies (DEO), Digital Technologies (DEK), Equity Diversity and Inclusion (DEJ).

Trent University

Apply to Teacher Education Stream – Arts (Honours) (RTA)

You choose education after your degree — the Stream guarantees BEd admission at 85% on your last 10 credits.

Trent's route to teaching from Grade 12 is the Teacher Education Stream, applied to as RTA (Arts) or RTS (Science) at a 75% minimum. It is not a concurrent BEd: in Trent's words you take '3.5 credits in Education over the course of the four years of an Honours BA or BSc', with 30-hour placements in years 2, 3 and 4, and students who 'maintain an average of 85% or higher on their last 10.0 credits' are 'offered guaranteed admission to the BEd'. Below 85% you are considered individually. Intermediate/Senior also needs two teachable subjects. The Indigenous Bachelor of Education (RTI, 70%) is a separate direct BEd.

Lakehead University

Apply to Concurrent Education (Primary/Junior) (AK)

You choose education after your first degree — entry to the two-year BEd Professional Program has its own academic and non-academic requirements.

Lakehead's Concurrent Education is open from Grade 12 at 70%, as Primary/Junior (AK) or Intermediate/Senior (AL), at both campuses — but it is concurrent in name with a second gate. In Lakehead's words, you 'must first complete your Bachelor degree in a partnering discipline', and then 'must meet certain academic and non-academic requirements to enter your Two-Year BEd Professional Program'. Five or six years total; on completion Lakehead recommends you to the Ontario College of Teachers. It is not a guaranteed BEd seat at admission.

Algoma University

Apply to not offered at Algoma

Algoma has no Bachelor of Education and no concurrent education — confirmed absent from Algoma's own programme list. Ontario teacher education is almost entirely second-entry, after a first degree.
