Four-Year Elementary Program

The Bachelor of Education Elementary program is a generalist program that prepares our students to teach elementary school subjects in kindergarten to Grade 6. They are involved in teaching the basic concepts and in the social education of young learners. Our professors are dedicated to helping our students become the homeroom teachers that children will remember for a lifetime.

The program consists of 120 units of course weight (*120) overall and can be completed in four years. It includes a minimum of 14 weeks of student teaching.

Upon completing the program, students will earn a Bachelor of Education degree (BEd) and will be recommended for teacher certification in Alberta.
