Admission Guidelines

DEGREE: Two years of study following community college graduation.

The requirements for Direct Entry (full- or part-time) in Child and Youth Care include all of the following:

• A three year Ontario College of Applied Arts and Technology Diploma in Child and Youth Work with a 'B' average or higher.
• As part of the admission selection process, applicants must visit www.ryerson.ca/undergraduate/admission/overview/ for details about the non-academic requirements.
• Subject to competition, candidates may be required to present averages/grades above the minimum and work experience in the field is beneficial.

NOTE: Potential students with work experience in the field but with post-secondary academic credentials other than the three-year CAAT Diploma in Child and Youth Work will be considered on an individual basis and should apply to first year. Those with out-of-province two-year CYW diplomas will also be assessed on an individual basis.
