Requirements for Admission to the Consecutive (Two-Year After-Degree) BEd Program
To be considered for admission, applicants must present the following requirements:
Admission to the program is on a competitive basis by subject specialization; therefore, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. The GPA is calculated using the grades from the most recent course work to a maximum of five full-course equivalents (²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a term will be included, except where the number of courses taken within a term exceeds five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used. For students currently completing a degree, Winter Term, Spring Term, and Summer Term grades will not count toward admission for the following Fall Term. However, admission is conditional subject to a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or higher in these courses. |
Requirements for Admission to the BEd Concurrent Program
High school course requirements for admission to the concurrent program are found in the Faculty of Arts, Science or Kinesiology admission sections. The Werklund School of Education does not have additional course requirements. Enrolment in the Werklund School of Education is limited and, therefore, meeting the minimum requirements for the Faculty of Arts, Science, Kinesiology or Werklund School of Education does not guarantee admission to the Werklund School of Education. |
Transfer to the Concurrent Program
Students who wish to transfer to the concurrent program should not have completed more than six full-course equivalents. It is required that all concurrent students complete Education 201 prior to entering the third year of the concurrent program. Concurrent students who have not completed Education 201 cannot progress to Semester 1 of the BEd program. |
