The Faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences and the Faculty of Education co-operate in offering a concurrent five-year program combining a BA (Honours) degree and a BEd degree for students interested in teaching at the Intermediate/Senior level (grades 7-12.)

Students must be registered full-time and follow the prescribed program. Any exceptions must have the approval of the Director of Concurrent Education Programs and the Chair, Department of Pre-service Education. Students must maintain a minimum 75 percent overall average each year in all undergraduate academic grade-marked courses.

Each student must choose a Major from: Dramatic Arts, English Language and Literature, French, Geography, History and Visual Arts, as these areas are the teachable subjects available from co-operating departments in the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences at Brock at the Intermediate/Senior level (grades 7-12.) The selection of the major and the second teachable subject must be declared through the Office of Concurrent Education Programs prior to registration for year 2. A maximum of 2.0 first year credits can be included in a second teachable subject. Students must complete a second teachable subject (minimum 3.0 credits) prior to starting Year 5.

Pre-service Education courses are credited toward the BEd while the remaining courses are credited to the BA. For this reason, a student who transfers out of the BA/BEd program will not have credit in Pre-service Education courses applied to an undergraduate degree.

Successful graduates of the five-year program will receive a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree and a Bachelor of Education degree. Upon successful completion of a teacher education program, teacher candidates are normally recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for membership and to receive their Ontario Certificate of Qualification. In addition to successful completion of a teacher education program, teacher candidates will be required by the Ministry of Education of Ontario to pass an Ontario teacher qualifying test.

This is a limited enrolment program. Although admissions will be primarily based on grades, other criteria, such as balance across teachable disciplines or teaching areas of high need may be used in the selection process in any particular year. Supplemental information may be required. Admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements.

Starting in the 2004-2005 academic year students may apply and be admitted to second year if there is space available. A minimum 75 percent overall average in first year course requirements will be required.

Ontario College of Teachers Criminal Records Screening Policy
1.  The Ontario College of Teachers requires both a criminal record check and a criminal record declaration by the applicant as necessary components of registration for new applicants.
2.  The costs associated with the provision of the criminal record check and any appeals are to be borne by the applicant.
3.  All positive reports of criminal offences will be examined by the Ontario College of Teachers Registrar to determine whether the record of offence(s) is relevant to the applicant's honesty, integrity and/or suitability to practise the profession and whether the offence(s)constitute reasonable grounds for refusal to issue a certificate of qualification and registration, or to impose terms, conditions or limitations on registration, in accordance with Section 18(2) of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.
4.  Applicants for registration by the Ontario College of Teachers will be advised of the reasons for the decisions of the Ontario College of Teachers Registrar to refuse certification or to impose terms, conditions or limitations and that appeals to these decisions will be determined in accordance with Part III of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.
  Questions regarding the policy should be directed to the Ontario College of Teachers.
