Adult Education is about lifelong learning. 

It’s about enabling people to continue on a path of learning, skills development, and personal enrichment. 

UNB’s Adult Education program combines credit courses with academic research, applied projects, and continuing professional development workshops. 

You’ll learn how to plan, administer, and deliver training to adults of all ages in all contexts. 

You’ll explore the principles of adult learning, the nature of adult learners, and the history and philosophy of adult education. 

The Faculty of Education offers a Certificate in Adult Education (CAE), a Bachelor of Education (BEd) in Adult Education, and a consecutive BEd in Adult Education.

Students must complete six specific high school courses, according to their program of choice. 

UNB takes the overall average of the high school grades achieved in these six courses to calculate the student’s "minimum admission average", which is used to determine admissibility. 

For students who are taking required courses in the second semester of grade 12, and therefore don’t have access to their grades when they apply, the prerequisite course (usually grade 11) will be used to make a grade estimate for the grade 12 course required for admission to your selected program of study. 

Please note that UNB does not accept 'mid-term' grades.
