Pre- Bachelor of Education: Secondary

Pre- B.Ed. Elementary EDUCATION PROGRAM
Students can prepare themselves for a teaching career by completing a bachelor's degree at King's and then applying to enter King's B.Ed. (After Degree) Secondary program or a program at another Christian college or Canadian university.

See the Faculty of Education home page here.

While pursuing a three-year or four-year degree, students can take up to 15 credits of education courses as part of the degree (i.e. EDUC 251, 300, 341, 363, 393). Students preparing for a Secondary program must complete courses toward a teachable major and minor. The B.Ed. (After Degree) can normally be obtained in two years of study following the three-year bachelor's degree. Students may wish to consider completing a four-year bachelor’s degree prior to the B.Ed. (After Degree) as this will provide them with additional preparation and a higher level on the pay grid when they begin teaching.

Students completing some majors, or students choosing a teaching career later in their degree, may need to complete a four-degree to meet the admission requirements for a Secondary education program. In addition, it is highly beneficial to take 6 credits in Canadian History and 3 credits Math in the undergraduate degree for increased opportunity for job placement in Canada.

MAJORS AND MINORS
For applicants to the Bachelor of Education Secondary program, at least 30 credits of a teaching major and 9 credits of a teaching minor must be present in prior study. Acceptable major/minor teaching areas in the first degree include but are not limited to the following:
Biology/Environmental Studies*, Chemistry, CTS: Business*, CTS: Computing Science, English Language Arts, General Sciences*, Mathematics, Music, and Social Studies*.
*If presenting courses from more than one subject, at least three subjects must be presented with senior courses in at least two.

Additional minor teaching areas include:
Art, Drama, Physical Education, Physics*, or Second Languages*.
* must be completed before admission.
Students are required to complete a teaching major (33 credits) and teaching minor (18 credits) using credits submitted from the previous degree and up to 12 credits within the Bachelor of Education Program.
