Welcome from the Dean of Education & Professional Studies

Welcome to the Faculty of Education and Professional Studies!

This Faculty includes the Schulich School of Education and the Schools of Business, Criminal Justice, Nursing, Physical and Health Education, and Social Work.

Our internationally-recognized faculty members also contribute to the following graduate programs: Master of Education, Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Sustainability, and Master of Science in Kinesiology. You will find more details on those and other graduate programs on the School of Graduate Studies page.

I wish to acknowledge that Nipissing University sits on the territory of Nipissing First Nation, the territory of the Anishnabek, within lands protected by the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850. We are grateful to gather, live, and learn on these lands with all our relations.

As Dean of the Faculty of Education and Professional Studies, I am proud of our outstanding professors, students, staff, and facilities. Our faculty have a long history of excellence in education and research, for which many have been recognized through national and international awards. Our students have rich opportunities to learn from these scholars and to apply that knowledge in real-world settings.

I look forward to supporting our students, staff, and faculty this year, and helping make the Nipissing experience the best it can be.

Sincerely,
Dr. Graydon Raymer
Dean, Faculty of Education and Professional Studies
