2009-2010 Undergraduate Calendar

The program is designed to enhance the abilities of individuals working with, or aspiring to work with, adult populations in a variety of educational/training contexts.

The Bachelor of Education in Adult Education program does not lead to an Ontario Certificate of Qualification. Those interested in a teaching career in Ontario are advised to refer to the Ontario College of Teachers Act 1966 and (Regulation 18/97 Teachers Qualifications) with respect to teachable subjects, definitions, basic qualifications and regulations.

Courses are offered in a facilitated learning cohort model, face-to-face(locations across the province) and on-line. For further information contact the Administrative Assistant.
