WHAT IS THE DUAL DEGREE?

  • A pathway to complete two degrees:

Bachelor of Education concurrently with another Bachelor degree

  • A learning experience that connects students’ academic studies to future careers in

teaching and shaping generations to come

  • An opportunity to explore the reality of teaching and gain experience earlier during

university studies

  • An opportunity for UBC to address teacher supply demands in shortage areas while

ensuring that BC students are learning from the best teachers in those subject areas

Students save TIME and MONEY

CAN I CHANGE MY MIND?

  • The answer is YES.
  • Students may discontinue the dual degree option by withdrawing from the

BEd program and then proceed with completing requirements for Bachelor degree major in the home faculty.

and apply to the BEd program later as a post-degree program.
