Are you considering furthering your studies in the arts? Are you thinking of becoming a teacher? A librarian? An arts administrator? In this session, Dr. Julia Brook will provide some insights about applying to Bachelor of Education programs across Ontario and share some of the opportunities that are available with a Bachelor of Education degree. Dr. Cory Laverty will describe what every workday looks like as a music librarian at Queen's University, and Michael Wheeler will review the laddered program offered by the DAN School that allows students to train for a Certificate in Arts Management or a Master of Arts in Arts Leadership.
