Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Education is an after-degree program for students who already hold a bachelor's degree and want to qualify to teach. The program runs for 16 months, with a cohort beginning in August 2026, finishing coursework in December 2027, and moving into teaching roles by January 2028. It includes work-integrated learning components connecting classroom preparation to practical teaching experience, though the program page does not specify particular practicum hour totals or delivery format. The stated focus is on learning through doing, building a foundation of teaching skills intended to give graduates confidence entering a classroom, and developing knowledge, skills, character, and confidence for teaching broadly rather than describing specific grade levels or subject specializations. The program is based at Canadian Mennonite University's campus in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It suits degree-holders who have decided on a teaching career and want a compressed, after-degree route to classroom certification rather than a four-year undergraduate education degree, moving from enrollment to a teaching role within a defined 16-month timeline. Because the source page focuses on timing and general outcomes rather than curriculum detail, prospective applicants would need to consult the university directly for specifics on coursework, practicum structure, and provincial certification requirements.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: CMU's Bachelor of Education (after-degree) admission page requires a recognized bachelor's degree conferred by June 15 prior to the August start, with a minimum 2.50 adjusted GPA over the most recent 60 university credit hours. Applicants submit a 100-200-word statement of work or volunteer experience with children or youth, a 500-700-word personal statement of teaching philosophy (CMU students who completed EDUC-3100 may submit that assignment instead), and two references (one professional supervisor, one academic or professional referee, with at least one addressing experience working with children/youth); family, friends and BEd instructors cannot serve as referees. Applications are due February 1 and a select number of applicants are interviewed. International degrees require a WES ICAP course-by-course evaluation, and non-native English speakers must meet CMU's institution-wide English scale: IELTS 6.5/6.0, TOEFL iBT 4.5/4.0, PTE 58, CAEL 60, or MELAB 80%.
