Education Programs at Queen's
Queen’s University provides different ways to enter into its Teacher Education program:
Concurrent Education Program
Students apply in their last year of secondary school for entrance into an undergraduate program called the Concurrent Education Program. In this program, students take courses towards an Arts and Science degree and an Education degree. By the end of five years, students end up with two degrees, one in their Arts or Science, and one in Education. Students may apply to one of two Concurrent Education programs: one through Queen’s, or to one offered in cooperation with Trent University.
Consecutive Education Program
Applicants who are completing an undergraduate university degree may apply to the one-year Bachelor of Education degree program at Queen’s University Faculty of Education. Applicants with a minimum of a secondary school diploma may also apply to the Consecutive program in either Aboriginal Teacher Education (community-based program), or Technological Education (on-site), but receive a Diploma in Education.
Technological Education Program
Within the Technological Education program option, Queens offers two different routes: a fall/winter program delivery; and an internship program delivery extending over two summers, with some online courses taken during the fall/winter while the candidate is teaching in a secondary school in her/his technology area. Applicants who are completing an undergraduate university degree may apply to the Bachelor of Education degree program. Applicants with a minimum of a secondary school diploma may apply to the Diploma in Education.
Queen's-Waterloo Joint Program
Students registered the BMath Honours Co-op or BCS Honours Co-op degree at the University of Waterloo may apply to the Queen's-Waterloo Joint program in their second year. By the end of five years, candidates end up with two degrees, one in Mathematics or Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, and one in Education (BEd) from Queen’s University. The program prepares graduates to teach mathematics and a second subject (normally Computer Studies, Science-Biology, Science-Chemistry or Science-Physics) in secondary schools in Ontario.
