Schulich School of Education - Teachers Education Degree

Dean's Message

Now in our second century of teacher education in North Bay, we continue our tradition of creating and extending a learning environment that fosters a professional community for those who wish to obtain a degree in education.

The Nipissing University community takes learning beyond schools and directs students to become actively involved in the world as participants whose knowledge and skills are valued. In short, the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University takes seriously the notion that if one wishes to learn how to be in the world, one should participate in it.

At Nipissing, you will develop the critical thinking, humane values and the practical skills necessary to become a teacher and lifelong learner. In addition, our many vibrant programs provide opportunities for those not directly involved in schools to develop and refine their understanding of teaching and learning in alternative settings.

As a student in the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University, you join a tradition of excellence that began as a teachers’ college over a hundred years ago and continues to inform policy and practice in teacher education and in the wider community. We look forward to working with you as you grow into your profession.

Carole Richardson, PhD
Schulich School of Education - Dean of Education (Acting)

Nipissing University is continually ranked with A grades for:

Quality of Teaching
Campus Atmosphere
Class Size (A+)
Student Residences
Academic Support Services
(According to Globe and Mail – GlobeCampus)

Don’t take it from us; here’s what students say:

"The best thing ... is being able to see your professors outside the classroom and they greet you on a first-name basis. There is nothing better than being able to talk to your professor like they are a friend."
"There is a large focus on research at the undergraduate level which does not always happen at larger universities. This gives Nipissing science students a path to further education and graduate schools."
"It is in a very scenic, northern setting. There are many trails on campus and a pond and waterfall to relax by to relieve stress and just think."
"The residences here are amazing with excellent dons and managers and activities. The residences are new and have amazing laundry, phone and kitchen facilities."
"Recreational and athletic programs offer a wide variety, lots of activities to sign up for, appropriate for all levels of skill."
