Bachelor of Science (Specialization in Science and Education) / Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Combined Degree
University Transfer
2 semesters, 30 credits may be completed at GPRC toward a 5 year, 150 credit combined degree program
University of Alberta
The University of Alberta Faculties of Science and Education offer a combined degrees program that is more structured than a Bachelor of Science degree followed by a Bachelor of Education After-Degree (a six-year route). This combined degree program is less flexible in course choice and scheduling as it is designed to meet the minimum requirements of both degrees in five years. In addition, the program must meet teacher certification requirements within the five-year time frame.
To accommodate the variety in subject studies needed in secondary school teaching, students in the combined degrees program will select both a major and minor from the following areas:
-
Biological Sciences
(Biochemistry, Biology, Entomology, Genetics, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Zoology) -
Physical Sciences
(Astronomy, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Geophysics, Mathematical Physics, Physics) -
Mathematical Sciences
(Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Probability)
Admission to our programs in Science requires a minimum overall average of 60 percent in the following five Alberta Education courses or equivalents. For course groups, refer to the Classification of Alberta Education Courses.
-
English 30-1
-
Pure Mathematics 30
-
One from Group A, B, or C
-
Two from Group C
It is essential that you check and plan so that you have the appropriate prerequisites for the courses that you require in your program.
If you are 21 years of age or older and do not have a high school diploma, you may still be eligible for admission as a Non-Matriculated Adult (NMA).
Admission to the University of Alberta BSc Program requires an overall average of 60 percent on the following three courses or their equivalents: Pure Math 30, two of Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Mathematics 31, Physics 30.
Regardless of admission requirements, you must still have the grade 12 subjects specified as prerequisites to the courses you are required or wish to take in your program.
Students spend the first two years of this five-year program registered in Bachelor of Science. After completing first year at the College, students apply to the University’s Faculty of Science for admission to year two.
GPA of 2.3 in all courses and GPA of 2.7 in all courses in the major.
