Section 23.1 Introduction
Introduction
The Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur (MEES) certifies teachers for the primary and secondary schools of the province, following completion of an approved 120‑credit program. This certification is also subject to legislative provisions on judicial antecedents and satisfying the requirements of a MEES‑approved test of English language proficiency. The MEES recognizes Concordia University as a centre for teacher training. Concordia offers three MEES‑approved programs that grant teaching licences (brevets d’enseignement). Because Concordia University has chosen not to organize its teacher training programs into a single Faculty, the programs are listed under different Faculties and departments. Students interested in pursuing teacher training and certification are asked to consult with the appropriate Faculties and academic departments for further information. These are:
Faculty of Arts and Science
Department of Education (See Section 31.090 Department of Education and Section 31.090.1 Teaching English as a Second Language.
- Bachelor of Arts (BA), Specialization in Early Childhood and Elementary Education (120 credits)
- Bachelor of Education (BEd), Specialization in Teaching English as a Second Language (120 credits)
Faculty of Fine Arts
Department of Art Education (See Section 81.40 Department of Art Education).
- Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Specialization in Art Education – Visual Arts (120 credits)
