The Master of Arts in Child Study and Education Program does not require you to write a thesis.
"The Child Study and Education (CSE) program offers a two-year, non-thesis MA that qualifies graduates to teach in elementary schools (Kindergarten to Grade 6) in Ontario. Our combination of teacher education and graduate degree training is intended to produce teacher-leaders who can apply research and theory in child study to their careers as educators. The MA CSE program and our faculty are part of the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto." http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/ics/M.A._Program/MACSE_Program_Welcome/

I believe the Master of Teaching does require you to write a thesis. My friend is in the program right now and she is writing one:
"Graduate Research
Over the two years of the program, you will complete a research project on a topic related to teaching and learning. Prior research experience is not a requirement or an expectation for admission to the program. Your research project will examine both the educational theory relating to a topic and its practical application to teaching. You will be carefully guided through the project."

Don't quote me on this though... there might be other differences....
@ALk94 thank you !!!
@rabschaud oh man.. I live in Mississauga too and I didn't get it yet..... I only applied to MT, did not apply to the other. Which one are you going to pick?
What else does it say in your acceptance package? anything interesting?
which day do they ask you to accept the offer by? do you accept it online? do you have to send them money right away?
I am definitely getting anxiety! Still no letter... I don't even know what I have been accepted for!
Did anybody attend any master of teaching events at OISE? are any upcoming? I can't find anything... I'm so curious, I have so many questions!
My ROSI went from saying 'financially cancelled', to 'active', and now 'financially cancelled' again lol .
I logged in earlier today, and the MT was showing up on both ACORN and ROSI. It was showing about 5 different listings from OISE on either ACORN or ROSI, forget which.
When I logged in just now, and there are only two. One for 'elementary' and one for 'secondary'.
Earlier today it said 'financially cancelled' on ROSI, and now it says 'active'.
I still have not received a letter yet though!!!!
