Administrative Assistant Mona Lavoie 905-688-5550, extension 4226 Welch Hall 8A http://concurrent.ed.brocku.ca The Faculty of Mathematics and Science and the Faculty of Education co-operate in offering a concurrent four-year program combining a Bachelor of Science (BSc) (Pass) degree with a Bachelor of Education (BEd) for students interested in teaching mathematics or science at the Junior/Intermediate level (grades 4-10) emphasizing elementary school. Students in the BSc (Pass)/BEd program must be registered full-time and follow the prescribed program. Any exceptions must have the approval of the Program Director. Students must maintain a minimum 75 percent overall average each year in all academic grade-marked courses. Students will have program approval to accept an International Exchange program if they have maintained a minimum 75 percent overall average. Each student must choose to concentrate in either Mathematics or in one of the following sciences: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Earth Sciences or Physics. For all students, the BSc (Pass)/BEd program combines a focus on contemporary science and mathematics with the development and application of pedagogical techniques. Because the BSc (Pass)/BEd program integrates teacher education courses with academic courses, the student should note that the Pre-service Education courses are credited toward the BEd while the remaining courses are credited to the BSc. For this reason, a student who transfers out of the BSc (Pass)/BEd program will not have credit in Pre-service Education courses applied to an undergraduate degree. Students should note that credits for the Concurrent BSc (Pass)/BEd program are not evenly distributed between the years because of the structure of Education courses. Students are responsible to note Calendar and scheduling differences between the Undergraduate and Pre-service Departments. Students may apply to enter year 2 if their overall year 1 average is 75 percent or above and their year 1 program has closely matched that of the year 1 course requirements of the BSc (Pass)/BEd program. A Profile Questionnaire is required. It is available on the Concurrent Education website from April 1. The program has a limited enrolment and therefore admission into year 2 is limited. Successful graduates will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Studies and a Bachelor of Education degree. After graduation from the BSc (Pass)/BEd program, students may proceed to an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Studies. 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. |

Students may register for an Honours program in Integrated Studies after completing their BSc (Pass)/BEd with a concentration in Biological Sciences or Mathematics. BSc (Pass)/BEd students with a concentration in Chemistry, Earth Sciences or Physics should consult with those departments regarding an Honours degree. |
