Information on the Bachelor of Education Degree and the various program routes is available on  the USask admissions page.

The most common program routes are the four-year Bachelor of Education degree programs at the Elementary/Middles Years and Secondary levels. 

1. Visit the Course and Program Catalogue for the Bachelor of Education program requirements. 

2. Explore the level that interests you:

Select Early/Middle Years Program Requirements for a program that focuses on teaching pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8.

Select Secondary Program Requirements for a program that focuses on teaching Grades 9 to 12.

3. View Years 1 and 2 (60 credit units) for a list of courses typically completed during years 1 and 2.

4. As part of the B.Ed. program, students select two teaching areas. Program requirements will vary and are determined, in part, by the two teaching areas you choose. Select “Teaching Area 1” or “Teaching Area 2” for details on the various teaching area options.

Teacher candidates are required to complete a specific number of credit units in at least two teaching areas that are aligned with Saskatchewan K-12 curriculum areas. Teaching Areas must be chosen from a defined set of subjects and courses, approved by both the College of Education and the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB).

Your Teaching Areas will determine your course selection and your progress through the Bachelor of Education program.

Teaching Areas 1 and 2 are often thought of as a major and minor for your degree program.

• Teaching Area 1 – 18 credit units
• Teaching Area 2 – 12 credit units

• Teaching Area 1 – 24 credit units
• Teaching Area 2 – 15 credit units

Program planning sheets are available to help you determine the course requirements you have completed as well as the requirements that are still outstanding for the Bachelor of Education degree program.

Once you have reviewed the program requirement information and program planning sheets, you are encouraged to contact an academic advisor in the College of Education with any questions you may have.

The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree program is 120 credit units.  Typically, the B.Ed. program can be completed in four years.  Students with previous coursework who have completed some of the B.Ed. program requirements in other colleges or at other institutions may be considered upper year transfer students and, as such, may not take a full four years to complete the program.

• Academic Information and Policies

Two deficiencies among the required high school classes are permitted but must be cleared prior to entering second year of study. Transfer students (with 18 transferable credit units) do not need to meet the high school pre-requisite requirements.

• Required Classes

The two-year Sequential program will no longer be offered.  The last year students were admitted to the Sequential program was 2017-2018.

The Bachelor of Education – Sequential Music and the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Bachelor of Education Combined Programs are still offered.

Information on searching for classes, registering and making changes, and registration deadlines is available on the Classes and Registration page.
