Graduate Programs

Note: These programs do not qualify students for Newfoundland and Labrador Teaching Certification.  

The Faculty of Education offers graduate degree programs that prepare students for work and further study in a wide range of settings.

Every teacher employed in the K-12 school system in Newfoundland and Labrador are required by law to hold a valid teaching certificate as is outlined on the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's Teacher Certification website. Therefore, students without a completed Bachelor of Education recognized by Teacher Certification are not eligible for a graduate internship in a school in Newfoundland and Labrador.
