Why take a degree in teaching?

Students who take a Bachelor of Education at York University's Faculty of Education often choose to teach or work in an international location after they have graduated. Since our university is located in Toronto, which is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, our students develop strong skills in intercultural communication and effective teaching strategies in diverse, multicultural classrooms. Our Faculty's focus on outreach in the local community also helps our students develop an understanding of the inclusive classroom, and strong skills in creating learning environments that are accessible for all students. In addition, the many international opportunities that are available to our students help them to develop experiences, insights, skills, and professional connections during their degree programs.

A number of our students may also choose to work in areas outside of the traditional classroom. Related occupations for students with a Bachelor of Education and international education experiences include:
