We prepare students for their careers through a comprehensive curriculum featuring core requirements and numerous specialized elective options.

The BEd program spans two years after obtaining an undergraduate degree. It offers two specialization tracks:

Elementary (primary to grade 6) – Candidates in elementary education train to instruct across multiple subject areas, reflecting the curriculum structure of Nova Scotia's public elementary schools.

Secondary (grades 7 to 12) – Secondary education candidates qualify to teach at least 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).
