Program overview
Dual Degree - Bachelor of Physical and Health Education and Bachelor of Education - Junior/Intermediate is a dual credential taken as one extended programme at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Physical and Health Education half covers human movement and exercise science, health promotion, physical literacy, coaching and the pedagogy of physical activity, delivered alongside the Junior/Intermediate stream.
Alongside it the Bachelor of Education - Junior/Intermediate half prepares teachers for grades four through ten, bridging the elementary and secondary divisions with subject specific methodology alongside general classroom practice, which is the professional side of Bachelor of Physical and Health Education taken this way. The junior and intermediate division is where subject knowledge starts to matter, which makes the Bachelor of Physical and Health Education background a genuine teaching asset rather than general background reading.
