Who can complete this Graduate Diploma? * Graduate students who are currently enrolled in the Graduate Program in Education’s MEd or PhD who are interested in completing the Graduate Diploma concurrently

* New part-time students who have been accepted to take the Graduate Diploma as a stand-alone program through the Graduate Program in Education

Options:

• Option A – Concurrent: The Graduate Diploma in Education in Urban Environments is offered concurrently with the Master of Education (MEd) and Doctoral (PhD) degrees in the Graduate Program in Education. Applicants must be accepted as MEd or PhD graduate students in the Faculty of Education’s Graduate Program in Education: Language, Culture and Teaching.

NOTE: When applying to the concurrent option, applicants ONLY need to apply to the MEd or PhD program in Education; applicants do not need to submit a separate application for the Diploma.

• Option B – Direct-Entry: Students can take a stand-alone, part-time direct entry Graduate Diploma, which is offered only within the Graduate Program in Education and is designed to provide opportunities for graduate level study of theory and research in Education in Urban Environments.

The direct-entry stand-alone diploma option is ONLY available on a part-time basis.

When applying to the direct-entry stand-alone Diploma, please note that application requirements are the same as for the part-time Master of Education (MEd) program.

Please note that graduate diplomas do not certify students in a particular field.
