The BEd is a two-year postgraduate program requiring an undergraduate degree for admission. Students can choose between two specialization tracks:

Elementary (primary to grade 6) - Candidates in elementary education train to teach multiple subjects, reflecting Nova Scotia's public elementary school curriculum requirements.

Secondary (grades 7 to 12) - Secondary education students specialize in teaching two subjects commonly offered in Nova Scotia's public high schools (including English, French, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education/Health Education, Gaelic, Spanish, Business, Family Studies, Art, Music, and Drama).

Both streams offer additional specialization options in Physical Education and French.
