The English-language concurrent Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) program admits approximately 115 students yearly. It provides an innovative alternative to the consecutive teacher education programs that typically involve an additional two years after the completion of an undergraduate degree. Students in this five-year concurrent education program complete a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work or Bachelor of Kinesiology while taking courses to meet the requirements for entry into the Professional Year (5th year).
Laurentian University's School of Social Work aims to educate social workers who can apply critical analyses to respond to those in need in order to promote social change, problem-solving in the context of social justice and respect for human rights, and to improve the general well-being of individuals, groups, communities, and society.
