Program overview
A four year education degree preparing elementary teachers, covering child development, curriculum and instruction across subject areas, literacy and numeracy teaching, assessment, inclusive education and supervised practicum in schools.
Teacher certification in Alberta is granted by the province rather than the institution, so the degree makes a graduate eligible to apply rather than licensed to teach. International graduates should confirm both their certification pathway and their work eligibility before enrolling, since requirements differ by province and by country of origin.
Bachelor of Education, Elementary is a degree, and degree level programmes are exempt from the field of study requirement, so no CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Education, Elementary. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Education, Elementary with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Education, Elementary in writing before you pay a deposit.
Applicants to Bachelor of Education, Elementary need Grade 12 / High School with at least 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6, and tuition for Bachelor of Education, Elementary is recorded at CAD 16,698 a year with a CAD 150 application fee. 4 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Education, Elementary application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
