The Bachelor of Education (Concurrent) prepares secondary school graduates to become educators and qualify for Ontario College of Teachers certification.

The program provides:

1. Two degrees at the same time: Bachelor’s in Arts and a Bachelor of Education.
2. 5 years plus one term, with education courses and experiences in educational settings completed in years 1-2 with an in-school placement in year 3. Students complete an additional summer term in year 5. Graduates are out into the job market one year early.
3. For both Primary-Junior (JK-Grade 6) and Intermediate-Senior (Grades 7-12) (decided by students at the end of year 1).
4. Students will choose a concentration in Year 5, such as Teaching At-Risk Children or Adolescents, International Education, Exceptional Learners, Arts in Education, Drama in Society, Assessment and Evaluation, etc. They may instead choose to apply to a Program Track. The Program Tracks are Aboriginal Teacher Education, Artist in Community Education, and Outdoor Experiential Education.

The degrees offered in Arts and Science have lots of flexibility to combine two majors, a major and a minor, a specialization in one area of study or a simply major with lots of room for electives. All of the available plans include room for electives and courses across both the Arts and the Sciences no matter what students' area of study is.
