In response to requests from teachers who find it difficult to attend classes in Vancouver, the UBC M.Ed. in Modern Language Education (French Immersion and Core French) is now available online.

Teachers located in and around Vancouver will still have the option of attending face-to-face classes. However, the same classes will now be available to teachers throughout B.C. and across Canada online via teleconferencing. All program participants will also take part in stimulating summer sessions in Montreal.

This exciting two-year program, designed to fit the schedules of working teachers, will begin in September 2010. The application deadline is Thursday, April 15.
