General Information
Concurrent Education Program
In co-operation with the Faculties of Arts and Science at Queen's University and at Trent University in Peterborough, a concurrent teacher education program is offered whereby candidates complete Education courses concurrently with their Arts and Science courses. Concurrent degrees normally are BA(Hons)/BEd and BSc(Hons)/BEd.  The BMus/BEd and BCmp(Hons)/BEd degrees are offered at Queen's only.  
 
With the strong field-centred orientation of the Education components, the Concurrent program has the advantages of clarifying vocational interest, sharpening awareness of issues inherent in teaching and learning, and achieving better integration of academic and professional studies. From the initial year candidates are provided with in-school experiences which form the basis of theoretical studies. The Education portion of the program is developmental in nature, culminating in sixteen weeks of practicum in the final year.
 
Program Components and Format
The Concurrent BEd degree requires the successful completion of 7.0 credits in Education. The practicum includes at least seven weeks of school placement in the first three years, and sixteen weeks of school-based and alternate practicum in the final year.
 
Candidates will select either the Primary-Junior (JK-Grade 6) or the Intermediate-Senior (Grade 7-12) program option at the end of the first year. Candidates normally devote the entire fourth year to the completion of the BA(Hons), BSc(Hons), BMus or BCmp(Hons) degree.
