Apply to the Bachelor of Education (BEd) Program
In May 2009 Acadia University implemented a 16-month consecutive Bachelor of Education program option. The first group of students accepted into this unique program option graduated in August 2010. Teacher education programs offered by Nova Scotia universities normally include 16 months of instruction delivered over two years. By using spring and summer teaching terms, this program option compresses the two-year program into 16 consecutive months.
Students who have completed an undergraduate degree by May will be able to choose between the elementary or secondary school streams. Students enrolled in the 16-month program option will study alongside students enrolled in Acadia’s regular two-year program option. Each student will complete their in-school practicum during the public school year. Acadia has established a partnership with the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board to strengthen the quality of the classroom experience for Acadia’s B.Ed. students.
