Should I do a bachelor's degree in Canada since my commerce bachelor's is not relevant to special education?
No, you do not need to pursue a second bachelor's degree in Canada. With your commerce background, you can transition into special education through postgraduate programs designed for students from diverse academic fields.
Canadian institutions offer options like:
- Diploma in Special and Inclusive Education (University of Victoria): Online, part-time, for working professionals. Requires completion of a certificate first.
- Master of Education in Inclusive and Special Education (Memorial University of Newfoundland): Graduate program starting Fall 2026, open to educators from various backgrounds.
These postgraduate diplomas or master's programs are more efficient and cost-effective than starting another bachelor's degree.
