Bachelor of Education - Intermediate/Senior - English

Program Description The Bachelor of Education (BEd) is a 12-month post-degree program consisting of 20 three-hour credit courses in education. This program is designed to provide the variety of courses and extended field experiences through which students can develop the knowledge and skills needed to teach in the modern classroom. It is the opportunity for students to focus their studies in Primary/Elementary (K – 6) or Intermediate/Senior (7-12) and in International, Indigenous, or Adult and Workplace Education.

Students in the Faculty of Education are encouraged to think critically and creatively about the purpose and practice of education in local communities and global society. The Faculty's professors recognize that a supportive and inclusive learning environment cultivates a healthy spirit of enquiry in their students. The close rapport between students and professors is often cited as the most valued aspect of a student’s experience in the UPEI education program.
