To be considered for the Bachelor of Education program, students must satisfy the following minimum requirements:
1. A student must have completed either a minimum of 30 credit hours of a B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc. program (or the equivalent) to begin the concurrent B.Ed. degree program OR a B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc. degree (or the equivalent) to begin the two-year consecutive B.Ed. degree program. (Please note that equivalency will be based on Crandall University standards and guidelines.)
2. A student’s post-secondary record, whether applying for the concurrent or the consecutive B.Ed., must show evidence of above-average ability. For the concurrent B.Ed. program, the requirement is a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or a B equivalent on a scale where 4.33 is the highest mark available. For the consecutive B.Ed. program, the requirement is a cumulative GPA of 2.67 or a B- equivalent on a scale where 4.33 is the highest mark available over the student’s last 60 credit hours of study.
3. In addition to a strong academic record, evidence of professional suitability, supported by references and previous work or volunteer experience with children, is required.
4. Students must complete a letter explaining their reasons for applying to the B.Ed. program.
