This partnership between the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary and Portage College will provide local access to degree completion in the field of Education in the Northeast Region of Alberta. The University of Calgary developed the program specifically for students interested in earning a Bachelor of Education degree.
The degree program will prepare learners for working in primary and secondary schools. Learners can enter the program directly from high school, but the program is flexible and can accommodate students who have previous post-secondary courses.
The Bachelor of Education can be taken in a format that can be completed almost entirely online, students will take part in a two-week summer residency on-campus at the Werklund School of Education. Students interested in applying can expect their terms to alternate between courses with Portage for one semester and courses with Werklund for the next. Prospective students can review these details with a student advisor at their corresponding school.
Students must apply on the University of Calgary website.
