Overview
This undergraduate Bachelor of Education degree at Bishop's University prepares students to teach across the elementary curriculum, with coursework spanning English, mathematics, science, history, geography, Culture and Citizenship in Quebec, and the creative arts. The program runs three or four years with a Fall start term and is delivered on campus. Completing the degree fulfills the academic requirement for eligibility to obtain a teaching permit, or 'brevet d'enseignement,' within Quebec's education system, making it a licensure-track program rather than a general arts or sciences degree. The program is designed specifically for students who intend to become elementary school teachers in Quebec, and its curriculum is built around the range of subjects an elementary teacher in the province is expected to deliver. Because the degree is tied to Quebec's teaching-permit requirements, it suits students planning to teach within that provincial system in particular, rather than those seeking a general education credential for use elsewhere. Prospective students are directed to the university's Academic Calendar and to the School of Education's elementary program profile for the specific course sequence and detailed degree requirements that support this teaching qualification.

Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Bishop's Teaching and Learning at the Elementary Level (B.Ed.) program page states no admission criteria of its own beyond linking to the general admission requirements page, summarised here as no B.Ed.-specific override is published. Canadian high-school applicants need five Grade 12 university-preparatory courses including Grade 12 English; Bishop's cites an estimated minimum admission average of 80% for all programs, though files are reviewed holistically rather than by strict cutoff. International high-school applicants normally need 12 years of schooling and a credential granting university access at home, with the minimum average assessed individually. Neither page mentions a practicum background check, immunisation or interview for this program, so none is recorded here. English proficiency is required of every applicant, met by a Quebec DEC, three years of secondary schooling or 30 post-secondary credits in English or French, or a test: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0); TOEFL iBT 90/20 for tests before January 21, 2026, or 4.5/4.0 on the redesigned scale from that date; Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176; PTE Academic 65/60; Duolingo English Test 115/90; or LanguageCert Academic 70-74/65.
