Program delivery and courses
Community-based delivery
The Bachelor of Education is designed for community-delivery, where the first two years (minimum) will be delivered in partnership with a language community or group of communities. The final two years may be delivered in a combination of face-to-face (both on-campus and in community) and distributed learning, bringing cohorts from around the province together OR the individual language community cohorts may continue as a group if student interest and funding warrants.
In addition to UVic faculty and sessional instructors, the program will utilize local language instructors and resource people to ensure cultural and linguistic contexts are maintained, and to honour the knowledge existing within the community. These community-based cohorts will be negotiated as partnerships between the university and the language community, as either two-year diploma or four-year degree programs.
Note: detailed course descriptions are available on the Academic Calendar.
