The combined BA (French)/BEd (Master of Teaching) program starts after Year 2 of the Faculty of Humanities French BA program and will last for three years.

The deadline for application for admission is April 1 of the academic year in which the student will have completed 10 full-course equivalents.

To be eligible for admission, a student must have met the following requirements by the time of admission (end of the Winter Term):

(a) A minimum of three and one half full-course equivalents of university-level French courses as required in the French BA in the Faculty of Humanities.

(b) Additional courses (sufficient to add up to 10 full-course equivalents) to meet the Faculty of Humanities requirements.

(c) The ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ Effective Writing Requirement.

(d) A Faculty of Education "Statement in Support of Application" which includes names of three referees.

Candidates for admission will require a GPA of at least 2.50 over the last five full-course equivalents taken and a GPA of at least 3.00 over all French courses taken (²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ courses and courses transferred from other institutions).

A maximum of 15 students will be accepted into the program in any one year. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission to the program is competitive based on the GPA over the last five full-course equivalents taken.

The program is divided into a French portion, which consists of seven and one half full-course equivalents plus courses required to fulfill the Faculty of Humanities Graduation Requirements, and an Education portion, which consists of 10 full-course equivalents. In Year 5 of the Combined Degree program, a required interdisciplinary project course in French will amalgamate the students' academic experience in French and Education.

At the time of admission, a joint committee in French and Education may stipulate special requirements related to linguistic proficiency for entering students. Students' progress throughout the program will be monitored by the joint committee. In order to continue into year 4, students must have completed the 15 full-course equivalents required for the initial French/Humanities portion of the program (see below) with a minimum GPA of 3.00 over the last ten half courses taken.

Required courses in French:

• French 215 and 217 (plus 213 if entering with French 30)
