Ontario Institute for Studies in Education
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto is a teachers' college in Toronto, Ontario. It was founded in 1996 as a merger of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and the Faculty of Education in the University of Toronto (which from 1920 to 1972 was known as the Ontario College of Education, U of T). FEUT was the preservice teacher's college offering first professional degrees in teaching. OISE was the graduate and research institution. OISE was a freestanding public degree-granting school before the merger.
OISE/UT offers preservice Bachelor of Education degrees as well as graduate programmes in teaching, psychology, educational theory, history and administration, and Honours Specialist, technical education diploma, and Additional and Principal Qualification programmes. Master of Education and Doctor of Education degrees as well as Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are available at the graduate level. Master of Teaching degrees are also offered.
The Institute is affiliated with two laboratory schools, the University of Toronto Schools and the Institute of Child Study Laboratory School.
Unlike York University, OISE does not offer concurrent education programmes. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree to be admitted to the consecutive BEd.
