Tyndale’s Bachelor of Education program is accredited by the Ontario College of Teachers

Tyndale received initial consent from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in 2007 and initial accreditation from the Ontario College of Teachers to offer a Bachelor of Education program to prepare teachers for employment in primary, junior, and intermediate divisions in 2008. Graduates of Tyndale’s Bachelor of Education program are eligible for a Certificate of Qualification from the Ontario College of Teachers.

The Ministry of Colleges and Universities granted consent as follows:

• December 5, 2007 – December 12, 2012
• December 12, 2012 – June 6, 2014 : Initial consent remained in effect until a decision on the renewal application was made
• June 6, 2014 – June 6, 2019
• June 6, 2019 – July 17, 2020 : Consent remained in effect until a decision on the renewal application was made
• July 17, 2020 – July 17, 2027
• December 2020 : The Province of Ontario passed Bill 213, which includes legislative changes to Tyndale’s Charter. Legislative changes took effect on December 18, 2020. The amendments made permanent a change in the institution’s legal name to “Tyndale University” and embedded the Bachelor of Education degree into the Charter, removing the requirement to seek Ministerial consent to offer the program.
