Note: This is the 2010–2011 edition of the eCalendar. Update the year in your browser's URL bar for the most recent version of this page, or click here to jump to the newest eCalendar.

The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) - Secondary Science and Technology program requires 120 credits and leads to teacher certification. Students who have not completed Quebec CEGEP, French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, or at least one year of university studies prior to commencing the B.Ed. must also complete a minimum of 30 credits of freshman courses (in addition to the 120 credits for the program) for a total of 150 credits.

The aim of the B.Ed. Secondary Education Program is to prepare strong beginning teachers for the secondary school level. This integrated program consists of academic studies, professional studies, and school-based practicum components. All of this is supported by studies in pedagogy, curriculum and educational foundations.

The Secondary Science and Technology program provides students with the subject matter expertise in the Living World, Earth and Space, the Material World and the Technological World needed to teach the secondary science curriculum in Quebec schools.

Please note that graduates of teacher education programs are recommended by the University for Quebec certification to the Quebec Ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS). For more information about teacher certification in Quebec, please refer to the Faculty of Education section under "Overview of Faculty Programs," "Undergraduate Education Programs," and "Quebec Teacher Certification."

Students are advised to consult with their Faculty of Education program adviser prior to registering in any course.

54 credits in designated science courses selected to provide subject matter expertise in the four areas of:

- the Material World

- Earth and Space

- the Living World

- the Technological World

Note: Students entering this program from CEGEP should have completed the basic science equivalents in CEGEP. The 100-level basic sciences are considered CEGEP level and only students entering a 5-year program (out-of-province and directly from high school) are eligible to take them. Students entering with advanced standing without having completed these prerequisites (or their equivalents) will be required to make up any deficiencies in these courses over and above the degree requirements.

Overview of the 54 credits for the program:

A minimum of 12 credits at the 300-level or above;

39 credits of courses across the 4 subject areas:
