The following degree programs are offered through Nipissing University’s Muskoka Campus, follow the links for program requirements:
In 1996 Nipissing University opened its first regional campus in Bracebridge, Ontario, the heart of Muskoka. The Muskoka Campus offers students the opportunity to study in a safe and friendly location conveniently just two hours from Toronto or North Bay. In September 2008, the Muskoka Campus in Bracebridge opened its doors to a brand-new, technologically advanced, 26,000 square foot academic building. The campus is located in Jubilee Park within close walking distance to all amenities and the main street shops and restaurants.
Our goal is to provide a high quality, personalized learning experience – one student at a time – and it’s a journey made within an unparalleled sense of community. The campus offers students the opportunity to study full-time or part-time towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in three different majors, namely: Child and Family Studies, Culture and the Arts or Liberal Arts. The campus also offers an exclusive Concurrent Education program for graduates of an Early Childhood Education program. The only program of its kind in Ontario, the program offers the opportunity to obtain an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Child and Family Studies concurrently with a Bachelor of Education – Primary Junior.
The Child and Family Studies program engages students in an interdisciplinary approach to the study of children and families. In drawing on disciplines and fields such as psychology, sociology and social welfare, the program develops a broad and in-depth understanding of issues and themes related to children and families.
The Culture and the Arts program focuses upon the interrelationships between the Arts (particularly visual arts and media) and Culture. The program is interdisciplinary and encourages students to broaden and deepen their understanding of the historical, ideological and theoretical conditions in which artistic expression and cultural values and practices take shape.The Liberal Arts degree allows a student with broad interests to explore many disciplines rather than focusing on one major. The majority of these courses are offered in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
Orientation to Teaching (OTT) is applicable to all Muskoka Campus degrees. OTT consists of a set of courses, taken as part of an undergraduate degree, in preparation for the Bachelor of Education program. OTT allows Nipissing University students to assess their suitability for the Education program before their undergraduate degree is completed. For more information see the section A Nipissing Degree with Orientation to Teaching in the Index.The success and satisfaction of our students is in no small part due to individualized attention, faculty/student interaction and our emphasis on services for students. Classes are taught in small, personalized settings that always inspire lively debate. All Nipissing University students have access to special support programs including Library Services, Career Counselling, Job Search workshops, Academic Skills Programs, Peer Tutoring resources and individualized assistance for special needs students. Muskoka Campus high school applicants are eligible for all Nipissing University entrance scholarships and bursaries.
The Muskoka Campus residence offers students either a two bedroom or four bedroom suite. Each fully furnished suite features private bedrooms, a kitchen with a fridge and stove, a living room and a full bathroom for every two students. Laundry facilities and common area are located in the residence. Students are connected with local telephone and cable television in all bedrooms and living rooms and the provision of both wireless and wired high speed internet access. The residence has a full-time Residence Life Supervisor who works closely with Residence Dons to create a community built of mutual respect, learning and growing. The Muskoka Campus also maintains a complete list of off-campus housing opportunities for students. These range from individual apartments, shared houses or room and board opportunities.
Students at the Muskoka Campus are full members of the Nipissing University Student Union (NUSU). NUSU is the official body representing the student point of view at the university. Membership provides them with access to health care benefits, a locally elected union representative and a variety of social and recreational opportunities. Funding for NUSU is included in incidental fees.
