Program overview
A four year education degree preparing secondary teachers, organised around teachable subject specialisations alongside adolescent development, secondary curriculum and instruction, assessment and supervised practicum in secondary schools.
Secondary teaching is hired by subject, so the teachable specialisations a graduate holds determine which schools can employ them. Mathematics, sciences and computing are documented shortage areas across Canada while several humanities subjects are heavily oversubscribed, which is worth checking before choosing a specialisation. The practicum component is also where most graduates meet the school division that later hires them, so placement selection deserves real thought rather than convenience.
Bachelor of Education, Secondary is a degree, and degree level programmes are exempt from the field of study requirement, so no CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Education, Secondary. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Education, Secondary with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Education, Secondary in writing before you pay a deposit.
