ECT is now an unlimited minor program (SCMIN0180), meaning you can add it on ACORN at any time. However, as all ECT program required courses are in very high demand, to join the program early is to your advantage.

To do ECT well, you must have an excellent command of English, the source language, in addition to Chinese. Everyone is encouraged to have successfully completed the two UTSC courses offered by the Centre for Teaching and Learning. They are value added!
