Education (BEd)

About

All over the world, education is considered an essential role in society. Teaching is one of our most rewarding and respected professions.

A great environment to learn

After you complete your first degree, you may enrol in Acadia’s Bachelor of Education (BEd) program.

Our BEd program is offered at the elementary level and secondary level. Its rigorous training will provide you with the broad skill set you need to teach young children. It will also provide the subject-specific expertise you need to help students reach more advanced levels of education.

Society will always need teachers and those with the skills an education degree provides. If you study to be a teacher, you will always be highly employable. Education careers are available in the following:

schools
leadership
management
administration
recreation
research
counselling

A background in education can also be useful for those who work with youth or who are generally sharing knowledge. All these fields offer you the chance to help improve education systems and processes.

In education, you will learn in a small, supportive, and challenging class environment. You will be able to practise what you’re learning, with up to 20 weeks of supervised field experience. In your second year, you may have opportunities for international field placements. As a graduate of our program, you will be prepared to take on a teaching position in any number of settings.
