Nipissing University is a public liberal arts university located in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, on a site overlooking Lake Nipissing. ==History== Nipissing University College was established in 1967 as an affiliate of Laurentian University in Sudbury,〔 and received its charter as an independent university in 1992.〔〔〔(University )〕 The university's roots go back to 1909, when the North Bay Normal School, a teacher training school, was established in the city. The school was renamed North Bay Teachers' College in 1953, and became Nipissing University College's faculty of education in 1967. After the university received an award in 2010, the Faculty of Education was renamed the Schulich School of Education. Nipissing University is one of the largest providers for Additional Qualification courses for teachers. The university offers courses online, on- site, and partially online. Every year the university receives around 5,000 registrations from teachers across the province that register for AQ, ABQ, Honour Specialist and Principals Qualification courses. Nipissing University is the only university in Ontario to offer the Advanced Bachelor of Education Degree. Since 1909 over 25,000 teachers have achieved their teaching credentials from Nipissing University. The governance of Nipissing University was modelled on the provincial University of Toronto Act of 1906, which established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate (faculty), responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors (citizens) exercising exclusive control over financial policy and having formal authority in all other matters. The president, appointed by the board, was to provide a link between the two bodies and to perform institutional leadership.〔 Nipissing University has a strong emphasis on teacher education and nursing. Selection for the BEd degree is based primarily on academic average and the faculty is one of Ontario's most competitive faculties of education. On December 14, 2001, the government of Ontario passed a bill revising the university's charter to permit it to grant graduate degrees.〔http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/source/private/english/2001/elaws_src_private_pr01020_e.htm Nipissing University Act, 2001 - Chap. Pr20 (Bill Pr25)〕 Nipissing University has a joint B.Ed. program with Wilfrid Laurier University for the concurrent program. Nipissing University has one of the largest faculties of education in the province with 750-800 Bachelor of Education students consecutive, plus 150 from the joint program with Wilfrid Laurier University. On average the Faculty of Education receives over 7,000 applications and enrolls between 750-800 students for the Bachelor of Education program. The university is also known for its portrayal in Lynn Johnston's comic strip ''For Better or For Worse'', in which Elizabeth Patterson was a student in the education program. Johnston lives near North Bay in real life, although the Patterson family was depicted as living in a fictional community in Southern Ontario. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nipissing University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
