How does Consecutive Education work?

Consecutive Education Program

This is now a FOUR-TERM (16-month) Bachelor of Education program (four consecutive terms at Queen’s only)

follows ANY four-year degree from any school

Students apply in the fourth year of their first degree

Students receive a Bachelor of Education upon completion

Consecutive and Concurrent students share three terms of this academic year (Fall/Winter/Summer 2)

WHY CONSECUTIVE?

If you don’t get accepted to Con-Ed you can still become a teacher this way!

If you want to study something that we don’t offer in Con-Ed (e.g. Kinesiology or Commerce), you must choose Consecutive

If you want to work for a while to gain life experience before becoming a teacher, Consecutive is for you!
