Overview:

• 5 years plus one term, with education courses and experiences in educational settings completed in years 1-2 with an in-school placement in year 3. Students complete an additional summer term in year 5 (ending in August). Queen's graduates are out into the job market one year early.
• For both Primary-Junior (JK-Grade 6) and Intermediate-Senior (Grades 7-12) (decided by students at the end of year 1).
• Students will choose a concentration in Year 5, such as Teaching At-Risk Children or Adolescents, International Education, Exceptional Learners, Arts in Education, Drama in Society, Assessment and Evaluation, etc. Students may instead choose to apply to a Program Track. The Program Tracks are Aboriginal Teacher Education, Artist in Community Education, and Outdoor Experiential Education.

Queen’s Fine Art (Visual Art) is a small visual art program admitting 30 students per year. The intensive studio training, taught by instructors that are active in their field, and in conjunction with insight into the practices of visiting artists from across the country along with the annual Koerner Artist Resident, provide for a broad spectrum of approaches and experience.

The small class sizes and high professor-to-student ratios create an interactive learning environment focusing on three main areas of fine art: Paint Media, Print Media, and Sculpture and New Media. The Fine Art (Visual Art) program is well equipped with studios and workshops that create an atmosphere where learning and research can flourish. Field trips are made to exhibitions and workshops, including annual trips to New York City and Massachusetts.
