Bachelor of Education/ Bachelor of Arts ( Integrated Program)

The University of Winnipeg

The study of Education at the University of Winnipeg blends theoretical knowledge with classroom practice in order to prepare students for a professional teaching career. Students in the Education program take courses from a variety of disciplines such as history, philosophy, biology, sociology and psychology alongside courses that focus on curriculum and pedagogy. The Education program at the University of Winnipeg is unique for several reasons. First, in addition to the preparation of preservice teachers leading to provincial certification, the program provides an additional focus on urban inner-city education. Second, early in the program students are provided with the opportunity of working with teachers and children in classrooms.The Integrated BEd/BA, BSc, or BPHE makes it possible for students to work towards two degrees concurrently. This program allows students who have made an early commitment to teaching to begin studying Education within the first two years of their university studies. The Integrated program consists of 150 credit hours, which are normally taken over five years. Normally, students enter the Integrated Program in the first year of university studies. However, provision is also made for students who have completed work towards another Bachelor's degree to transfer into the program.
