Student review [#26322] for Education
at Brock University

Brock University is a publicly funded institution research institution that was founded in 1964. Located in St. Catharines, Ontario, a city with just over 140,000 residents, and a student population of approximately 19,000, Brock is a home away from home for those studying there. With it being at the centre of Canada’s Niagara Peninsula on the Niagara Escarpment, it is a perfect locale for nature lovers as it is the only university in Canada that is situated in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The university offers Adult Education programs at the Certificate and Bachelor levels, including a certificate in Aboriginal Adult Education and a Bachelor of Aboriginal Adult Education. I pursued the Bachelor of Education in Adult Education program. Due to the fact that I had a prior degree, I was able to transfer ten courses to the program, which resulted in my only needing to complete five courses to earn my degree at Brock. As someone who was working full-time while pursuing my studies, I appreciated the flexibility that the program afforded me as their courses were offered on weekends. The courses were also very interesting and highly relevant to my field of study. The professors possessed a breadth of knowledge and skills which they brought with them to the classroom, along with their passion for teaching. The program is highly respected within the adult education community, and I was able to obtain a teaching position shortly after graduation. As a result of my positive experiences and successes in the program, it gave me the confidence to pursue an adult education program at the graduate level later on.
