Mount Saint Vincent University is launching a 14-month version of its Bachelor of Education (BEd) program in May. This delivery format will enable students to complete their degree 10 months earlier, while still completing the same course and practicum requirements as the 20-month BEd. The program runs continuously, with students beginning their studies in May rather than September. “Our aim […] was to help get more qualified teachers into the classroom faster,” said MSVU President Dr Joël Dickinson. “We’re committed to working with our partners in government and across the system to find solutions to the teacher shortage while ensuring that our graduates have the skills, experiences, and supports needed to successfully transition as teachers in today’s demanding P-12 classrooms.”
