Students will first complete their Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology and Technology. Once complete they will move into the two years of their Bachelor of Education. The Environmental Biology and Technology (ENBT) program specializes in providing students with the knowledge and skills required to study Environmental Biology from many perspectives. Graduates will receive the double-benefit of combining the academic education provided by Nipissing University with the practical and technical skills taught at Canadore College. The Lake Talon Field Research Station hosts several kinds of Field Camps where Nipissing graduates can spend a week in a forest-and-lake situation learning and polishing their outdoor skills. They have access to the lab and research facilities at Nipissing, as well as the facilities of Canadore College, since the ENBT Program involves the collaboration of the two institutions. After completing their Bachelor of Science, students will begin Nipissing University's Bachelor of Education (BEd) program, which was one of the first pre-service teacher education programs to be fully accredited by the Ontario College of Teachers. The BEd program is part of the Schulich School of Education and meets the requirements of the Ontario College of Teachers for teacher certification (Certificate of Qualification). The program provided by the Schulich School of Education is rigorous and demands a high degree of commitment. To be successful, a student must display sensitivity to pupils, a sense of responsibility to the teaching profession, and a respect for knowledge. Candidates may apply to enroll in one of three divisions in the program: P/J -- Primary/Junior (Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6) J/I -- Junior/Intermediate (Grades 4 to 10) I/S -- Intermediate/Senior (Grades 7 to 12) Upon successful completion of all six years, students graduate with a Bachelor of Science, College Diploma, and a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree.
