Program overview
Bachelor of Education - Primary/Junior at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A professional teacher education degree preparing candidates for kindergarten through grade six, covering child development, literacy and numeracy instruction, classroom management, assessment, special education and inclusive practice, with substantial supervised practicum.
Nipissing has one of the longest established teacher education traditions in Ontario, and its Schulich School of Education is among the larger providers in the province. Teacher certification is granted by the provincial regulator rather than the university, and international applicants should confirm their certification and work eligibility pathway before enrolling.
Because Bachelor of Education - Primary/Junior is a degree, the field of study restriction that catches non degree credentials does not apply and no CIP verification is required. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Education - Primary/Junior with a partner should plan on a single income.
