    About

    Develop your skills as an adult educator through UFV's Bachelor of Arts in Adult Education — a mid-career professional development program.

    Tailor your studies to fit your busy schedule. All courses are online with the exception of a few classroom sessions, with video conference access if you are a distance student. The Bachelor of Arts in Adult Education program is completely flexible and allows you to:

    • Study part-time or full time
    • Choose online courses on a rotating schedule
    • Take evening and Saturday classes
    • Earn credit for prior learning, including from non-traditional settings

    Start your studies by reviewing the foundations of adult education and e-learning. Round up your first 60 credits through a combination of UFV coursework, transfer credit, and Prior Learning Assessment.

    To earn your upper-level credits, you explore instructional design, adult education theory, and elective topics that fit your interests. All courses pair practical and theoretical coursework with real-life workplace experiences.

    Near the end of your Bachelor of Arts in Adult Education degree, solidify your knowledge through three capstone courses where you explore your passions, synthesize your learning, and apply reflective techniques.

    Check the requirements

    There are three types of requirements that you need to meet to qualify for admission at UFV: general requirements, English requirements and program requirements. Information about our general and English requirements can be found in the UFV Academic Calendar. You will also be able to look up your program in the Program Index to see program-specific entrance requirements.

    Check the UFV Academic Calendar and find your program. In the How to apply section, you will find a list of all required documents.

    Depending on the program to which you wish to apply, you may need to provide high school or university transcripts, prepare a portfolio, or take a placement test.

    In addition to filling out an online application, some programs may also require that you fill additional forms, such as sealed reference forms, personal statements, or volunteer history.

    Note: You are required to declare all previously attended post-secondary institutions, and provide official post-secondary transcripts. Students who have taken course prerequisites at other institutions will also need to submit official post-secondary transcripts for evaluation.

    Credit card payment is required in order to submit your application. Alternatively, you may pay debit or cheque in-person at the Office of the Registrar at any campus.

    Review application deadlines to ensure you apply in time to secure admission to your preferred semester.

    After you apply, we confirm we've received your application by sending you an email to your personal email address within approximately one week of your submission.

    This preliminary email contains information about checking your application status by logging into UFV's application portal. You will need your ID to access the UFV application portal. Keep your ID secure and confidential so only you can access your application.

    Note: In order for your application to be complete, you will need to submit all required documents which may include transcripts and additional forms such as sealed references, personal statements, or volunteer history.

    Once we receive all the documents required for your program, we will review your application to determine if you are admissible. You are considered for admission according to the criteria outlined in the UFV Academic Calendar under Basis for Admission Decision for your program. Some programs may also require you to attend an interview or orientation. If so, we will notify you.

    Once we've assessed your application, we will contact you to tell you whether or not you have been accepted into your chosen program.

    You will receive an official letter of acceptance if you are accepted into your program.

    Your acceptance to a program may be conditional upon final completion of all entrance requirements. You will be given a deadline to provide proof of completion (e.g. currently enrolled high school students will normally have a deadline of August 3 for Fall semester).

    If you are conditionally accepted and must provide additional information, you will be notified. If you are not admissible for your program of choice, we generally offer admission to an alternate program (e.g. Qualifying Studies).
