Tuition and Fees

Domestic Tuition

Tuition for 2027-28 is yet to be determined. To give you an idea of cost, 2025-26 tuition for domestic students (Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents) is $1,529.00 per course (subject to change). Tuition is assessed each semester by course and is subject to change.

Note: Tuition for these courses may be listed at a higher rate. However, the Faculty of Education will provide a bursary to maintain similar tuition rates across all Professional Learning programs. If applicable, the bursary will be applied after the add/drop deadline. Bursary amounts are subject to change.The amount of the bursary varies by program; not applicable to doctoral or international students.
