For high school applicants and applicants currently in a first year UNB degree program.

The Faculty of Education Admission Advantage extends conditional offers of acceptance into the Bachelor of Education program to exceptional high school students and first year UNB students.

  1. A place in the Bachelor of Education program, conditional upon meeting process requirements. 
  2. A Faculty of Education counselor to assist you with questions or concerns. 
  3. Access to the Education Society to keep you informed about events, activities, and other involvements that could enhance your admissibility to the education degree program. 

If you are currently in, or approaching your senior year of high school, OR are in the first year of study at UNB, you will want to see the details in the Undergraduate Calendar online. For this route you are conditionally admitted to the Bachelor of Education degree and must complete your first degree at the University of New Brunswick.

  1. Apply to an undergraduate program at UNB, and indicate interest in FEAA by the application deadline of March 31st.
