I chose Â鶹ÊÓƵ because of its accelerated 16-month Bachelor of Education program, which let me start my teaching career months earlier than graduates from other universities. The small class sizes created a close, supportive learning environment, and the strong focus on technology helped me build real, classroom-ready skills. I felt ready on day one, and that’s something I credit entirely to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Nicole Boivin Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Educational Studies Class of 2022
