Native Indian Teacher Education Program (NITEP)
Through a partnership between UFV and
the University of British Columbia (UBC), Aboriginal students will have access
to the Native Indian Teacher Education Program (NITEP). This partnership
provides Aboriginal students the opportunity to complete the first three years
of NITEP at the UFV campus under the guidance of a NITEP coordinator. Students
will be expected to transfer to the UBC campus for years 4 and 5 of NITEP. NITEP offers an elementary and a secondary option. Students enrolling in the
Secondary Option are expected to declare a major concentration in a teachable
subject area during their first year of studies.
How to apply NITEP students will complete
university-level courses at UFV; therefore,
applicants are required to apply to both UBC and UFV. The deadline for
application to NITEP is April 30th. For further information, contact
Aboriginal Access Services at (604)-795-2835 or
arc@ufv.ca.
