Concurrent Education
Queen’s Concurrent Education is a five-year + one summer term program that prepares secondary school graduates to become educators and qualify for Ontario College of Teachers certification. Our graduates are out into the job market a year earlier, since most other Ontario faculties of education offer their programs over 6 years with typical fall/winter semesters.
With Queen’s ConEd, you will be working on two degrees at the same time – an Honours Bachelor of Arts (including French), Science (including Kinesiology), or Music, and a Bachelor of Education degree – both from day one! The BEd degree from Queen’s is widely accepted for teacher certification across Canada and around the world. What makes Queen’s grads more marketable is that they will all graduate with a concentration in one subject area.
Concurrent Education students can apply for a program track in their final year. Program tracks include Artist in Community Education, Indigenous Teacher Education, Outdoor & Experiential Education, and Primary-Junior French as a Second Language.
Consecutive Education
Our on-campus Consecutive Education program is for those who are interested in becoming educators or working in the field as educators. The Bachelor of Education program provides university graduates with a second bachelor’s degree. The Consecutive Education program is completed in four successive terms, starting in May and ending in August the following year, which enables our graduates to be out in the job market by September. Candidates chose a teaching division: Primary-Junior (K – Grade 6) or Intermediate-Senior (Grades 7 -12). Our Consecutive Education program includes four program tracks: Artist in Community Education, Indigenous Teacher Education, Outdoor & Experiential Education, and Primary-Junior French as a Second Language.
