Program details

Overview

The Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) is a four-year concurrent Bachelor of Education program at the University of Saskatchewan, designed for First Nations and Aboriginal students. Students choose between two specialization pathways: the ITEP Bachelor of Education - Early/Middle Years and the ITEP Bachelor of Education - Secondary. The program is administered by a dedicated ITEP office within the College of Education, based at 28 Campus Drive in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where prospective students can reach program staff directly by phone. It suits First Nations and Aboriginal students who want their teacher education delivered through a program built specifically for their community within the University of Saskatchewan's College of Education.

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
