The English-language concurrent Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) program admits approximately 115 students yearly. It provides an innovative alternative to the consecutive teacher education programs that typically involve an additional two years after the completion of an undergraduate degree. Students in this five-year concurrent education program complete a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work or Bachelor of Kinesiology while taking courses to meet the requirements for entry into the Professional Year (5th year). The health promotion program enables students to engage in practical and theoretical experiential learning to help develop their professional skills related to sport, physical education, Indigenous health and wellness, health and fitness professions. Students will also acquire leadership skills required for the promotion of a healthy and physically active lifestyle with a focus on promoting and developing physical fitness, education, coaching, rehabilitation, recreation and health initiatives.
