Programs

Elementary Education Track (BEd 4-year)

The Elementary Education Track reflects a subject generalist approach that prepares students to teach in any of the content areas typically taught at the elementary level in Alberta schools. The broad liberal arts core of the degree and the required curriculum and instruction courses in the professional education component of the program lay the foundation for successful teaching in the elementary classroom.

Secondary Education Track (BEd 4-year)

The Secondary Education Track recognizes the need for secondary school teachers to have a strong professional education component and to be knowledgeable in a number of subject areas. Students enroled in the Secondary Education Track will complete coursework in two K-12 content areas–a specialization and a BEd minor.

Specialization

After Degree Track (BEd 2-year)

The 2-Year After Degree program in Education is designed for those who already hold a three- or four-year baccalaureate degree, consisting of a minimum of 90 credits, from an accredited institution. The After Degree is offered in both Elementary Track and Secondary Track. Successful completion of this degree qualifies the graduate for Interim Teacher Certification in the Province of Alberta.

Minors

BEd Minors are only open to BEd students. Secondary Track BEd students must complete a BEd Minor. Courses used in fulfillment of a specialization may not be used toward fulfillment of minor requirements. Elementary Track students may also compete a minor if desired. This can be either a BEd Minor, or any minor offered at CUC.
