The NITEP Merrit Field Centre, in partnership with Bonaparte First Nation and Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT), is a three-year, blended-delivery Bachelor of Education pathway designed to support Indigenous students in becoming educators while remaining connected to their home communities and existing commitments.
This program is intended for self-identified Indigenous students who have completed a minimum of 60 post-secondary credits or who hold a fully conferred degree and are interested in pursuing teacher education grounded in Indigenous perspectives, relational approaches, and community-centred learning.
Coursework will be offered primarily online in the evenings, with in-person summer learning institutes, making the program more accessible for working professionals. The in-person practica will take place in the final two semesters of the program. 

We will also be hosting a series of virtual information sessions over the coming weeks to support prospective applicants in learning more about program pathways, admissions requirements, timelines, and student supports. To be added to our mailing list, please complete this form:
