This Bachelor of Education program trains teachers to work with students who have disabilities or learning and adaptation difficulties, across preschool, primary, secondary, and adult education settings. The 120-credit, four-year (eight-trimester) curriculum covers didactics in French, mathematics, science, and social studies alongside orthopedagogy, student development, classroom management, and assessment. In the fourth semester, students choose a specialization in either preschool-primary or secondary-adult education. Four supervised school internships, one per year, provide more than 720 hours of field experience across five administrative regions of Quebec, with an optional international placement. Admission requires a Quebec DEC with a minimum R-score of 22, or alternate routes through prior university study, an out-of-province diploma with at least a 12/20 average and C1-level French, or six months of relevant paid or volunteer experience. Graduates who pass the TECFEE French-writing certification test receive a permanent teaching certificate.
