General Program Information

Nipissing University and Wilfrid Laurier University, Brantford campuses offer an innovative Honours BA/BEd program. The program combines Nipissing’s long history of providing a teacher education program that aims to provide well-prepared teachers for Ontario schools, with Wilfrid Laurier’s strengths in the liberal arts and sciences.
Graduates will receive an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Contemporary Studies from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Bachelor of Education degree from the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University. The major for the Bachelor of Arts is Contemporary Studies, as an Honours degree and it can be combined with other minors or options. For a full program listing, please visit the WLU website www.laurierbrantford.ca. The five year program is offered entirely at the Brantford Campuses of Nipissing University and Wilfrid Laurier University.

The Ontario Certificate of Qualification

  1. Qualified candidates, who successfully complete both the Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree and the Bachelor of Education program, will be recommended for a Certificate of Qualification issued by the Ontario College of Teachers. The Certificate of Qualification records the teacher’s divisions of concentration (from Kindergarten to Grade 12) and additional qualifications.
  2. The divisions in the Ontario school system are: Primary (Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3), Junior (Grades 4 to 6), Intermediate (Grades 7 to 10) and Senior (Grades 11 to 12). At Nipissing-Brantford, Bachelor of Education students can obtain qualifications in one of the following division combinations: Primary/Junior (P/J) or Junior/Intermediate (J/I).
  3. It should be noted that it is legal for the possessor of a Certificate of Qualification to accept a position in a division other than the one in which he/she has concentrated. This will of course be the exception to the general practice and will occur only when the teacher can demonstrate unique qualifications for such a position.

Admission

Students apply on the OUAC 101 or 105 form for the Concurrent Education Program offered at the Wilfrid Laurier University, Brantford campus. Applicants should consult the Wilfrid Laurier University academic calendar for the appropriate application code for this program. OUAC 101 and 105 application forms and information about applying are available online.
Requirements for admission consideration to the Concurrent Education Program include an OSSD; a minimum average of 75% in six 4U and/or 4M courses (including ENG4U and a 4U Mathematics course); a minimum of 70% in ENG4U, and 60% in 4U Math. Applicants will be admitted based on their academic results, but are also encouraged to submit the Applicant Background Summary form for consideration. Students interested in applying FSF4U at 70%.

Registration Procedures and Regulations

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that course registrations and course changes meet degree requirements.

New Students

Registration information packages will be mailed to new students. New concurrent education students are strongly encouraged to attend a ‘Headstart Orientation Session’ in order to have assistance with course registration and academic advising. These sessions will be held during the spring/summer prior to the start of fall classes.
