Brock Concurrent BA (Honours) in Educational Studies/BEd Junior/​Intermediate

Brock University

The published admission average for Concurrent BA (Honours) in Educational Studies/BEd Junior/​Intermediate at Brock University is 87–90% for September 2027 entry, under OUAC code BPE.

You study education theory and teaching methods while simultaneously completing your teaching certification for grades 7–10, all in one degree program. Unlike a separate education studies degree followed by teacher training, this concurrent program integrates both at the same time, so you graduate ready to teach immediately. It suits people who are certain they want to teach secondary school and want to combine academic study of how people learn with hands-on classroom experience.

Plain-English summary. The universities publish requirements but not an explanation of the program, so this one is written for you and checked against the official listing above. Read the university’s own page before you decide.

  • Alternative Offers
  • You will receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest listed choice is considered first when you indicate more than 1 Brock program on your application. If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non co-op program.

What this leads to

The picture for education studies as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

An Education Studies degree on its own doesn't lead directly to a job teaching in Ontario—you'll need to complete a separate two-year Bachelor of Education program after graduating. Once certified, most graduates become public school teachers (elementary or secondary), though some work as curriculum developers, instructional coordinators, or education policy analysts in school boards and government.

In its favour

  • Structural teacher shortage means reliable job demand, especially for STEM, special education, and French-language teachers in rural areas
  • Strong pension: Ontario teachers' pension (OTPP) is among Canada's best, worth roughly $1.5 million over a career after 30 years
  • Job security and union protection once hired—collective agreements protect pay and working conditions
  • Summers off and defined hours, which many people value

Worth knowing

  • Extra two years of school beyond your degree: Ontario requires a bachelor's degree first, then a consecutive two-year Bachelor of Education. You won't be certified to teach until at least six years after finishing high school
  • Starting pay around $50,000–$55,000 is modest for the length of education required, and salary growth is slow in year one
  • Difficult working conditions: teacher shortages mean larger classes, less support staff, and higher workload. Shortages are structural, not temporary
  • AI is automating grading and lesson planning, reducing the administrative load but not replacing classroom teaching—you'll still handle the emotional labour and behaviour management that AI can't do

How AI is changing this work

AI tools are handling routine work—grading, marking, scheduling—freeing up 6–8 hours per week for teachers. But the core teaching job (managing classrooms, responding to student needs, building relationships, handling behaviour) remains fundamentally human. The real risk is that budget cuts come because AI makes schools appear more efficient, while class sizes and support shortages continue. You'll graduate into a profession where AI has removed some drudgery but not changed the basic structure of the job.
