The Faculty offers programs and courses leading to BEd and MEd degrees at St. Catharines and Hamilton campuses, with some selected continuing studies and MEd courses offered in Mississauga and Hamilton. An extension of the Intermediate/Senior program is offered in partnership with the Institute for Enterprise Education as well as a program offered in co-operation with the University of Waterloo. The Faculty also provides courses which can be used as electives in undergraduate programs in the University.

Three programs are offered to prepare Native elementary school teachers.

Bachelor of Education programs are field-oriented and are based on an approach unique in Ontario. Much of the orientation to and instruction in professional practice takes place under the supervision of counsellors working with groups of students in internship centres located in schools throughout the Niagara Peninsula and the regions of Hamilton-Wentworth, Haldimand and Halton. Candidates who are accepted into the BEd program to teach in secondary schools are assigned to work with specialized subject area tutors in high schools throughout this same area.

Those interested in a teaching career in Ontario are advised to read the Ontario College of Teachers Act (Regulation 184, 1996) with respect to teachable subjects, definitions, basic qualifications and regulations.

Graduate programs
The Faculty of Education offers a Master of Education degree in Curriculum Studies; Studies in Teaching and Learning; Organizational and Administrative Studies; and Integrated Studies. For further information and course listings, refer to the Graduate Calendar or contact the Office of the Registrar.
