Prospective Students

Offered by:Integrated Studies in Ed
Degree:Bachelor of Arts (Education)

Program Requirement:

The B.A.(Education): Major Education in Global Contexts is intended to equip students with a strong grounding in educational theory, issues and challenges, with an emphasis on building in-depth understandings on key issues facing education in diverse global contexts. A foundational program, it provides a variety of pathways for future study or employment for our students in a range of government, educational, industry and community organizations. Students complete a 54 credit major in Education in Global Contexts addressing the core of the program, with the addition of an 18 credit minor in a complementary discipline (choice of three approved minors), and complete the degree with 18 credits of electives. The program includes an internship and opportunities for applied research. This program is a general degree mirroring the "Liberal Arts" degree, but specifically in the area of Education.

NOTE: This program does not lead to Teacher Certification for formal elementary/secondary classroom teaching in the Province of Quebec.

Freshman Program

Students whose highest level of education is high school (normally out of province) are admitted into Year 0 (U0) to complete the Freshman Program. Freshman students are required to complete 30 credits of introductory (100- or 200- level) courses of the students' choice (in addition to the 90-credit program), verified by an adviser*, for a total of 120 credits. Students will not be granted permission to take first-year (U1) courses if the credits from the Freshman year have not been obtained. In consultation with the Program Adviser, students may select courses from the recommended course list below or other courses. There are no required courses in the Freshman Program, though the department recommends that students use the opportunity to take 100- or 200- level courses in the subject areas that interest them or are relevant to their chosen concentration. As well, the Freshman year offers students the opportunity to explore areas that are not typically taken as a course of study in the program.

The department recommends the following courses:
