Delivery Options
Consecutive BEd Degree
This is available to those individuals who have previously completed a BA, BSc, BA&Sc, or BBA degree, or equivalent. (Note: Equivalences are based on Crandall’s standards and guidelines.) It is a four semester, 60 credit hour program that can be completed in as little as 16 months.
Concurrent BEd Degree
This is available to those individuals who have completed 30 credit hours towards a BA, BSc, BA&Sc, or BBA degree, or equivalent, and are interested in completing the two degrees simultaneously. The two degrees combine into 180 credit hours, but in certain instances this may be reduced to 168 credit hours should electives be available from the student’s initial undergraduate degree. The concurrent program begins in the student’s second year and requires a minimum of four years of study beyond the initial year, for a total of five years. Students will need to maximize their courses within several semesters and/or take additional spring or summer courses to graduate with both degrees in five years. (Note: Equivalencies are based on Crandall’s standards and guidelines.)
