The Four-Year BEd (Community-Based) program provides opportunities for students to remain in or near their rural and remote communities for the majority of their degree program. Offering 1-2 courses on-campus each summer provides students with the opportunity to work with their cohort in a face-to-face environment, attend orientation and social events and to connect with the Werklund School of Education and the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½. Our experience with blended programs indicates that including on-campus courses and experiences each academic year, provides for a stronger pedagogical program, significantly increases the retention rate and reduces the number of courses to be taken throughout the Fall and Winter Terms. It further creates a strong relational bond among students within their particular cohort during their campus experience that extends when they return to their communities. The Four-Year BEd (Community-Based) program consists of 120 units (20 full-course equivalents) to be distributed according to the following list:
