The following information applies to all students enrolled in the B.Ed. program implemented in 1994-95. Please note that the term "teaching area" refers to a subject commonly taught in Saskatchewan schools.
Note: Students who began their program prior to 1994-95 should contact an Academic Advisor in the College.
Four-Year Sequential Program Options
Elementary and middle years students require 18 credit units in Teaching Area I and 12 credit units in Teaching Area II. Secondary option students must complete 24 credit units in Teaching Area I and 18 credit units in Teaching Area II. The College recognizes the following fields as teaching areas:

Students enrol for the first three years in the College of Kinesiology and the final two years in the College of Education.
In selecting courses to make up these teaching areas, students should take a number of factors into account: the curriculum in the schools, the requirements for a degree in another college, and certification requirements in other provinces.
