About the program: The program is a 60 credit-hour program delivered in 11 months that offers the same course work and certification as a two-year program. It builds on previous undergraduate degrees in the liberal arts, science, commerce, or other comparable programs, as students are expected to have a sufficient background in a subject area to effectively teach content. Students concentrate either in elementary (K-5), secondary (6-12), in French second language teaching through co-operative learning and teamwork, along with practical teaching techniques. A high level of interaction with peers, and challenging demands on time, energy, and ability, simulate the work expected of public school teachers. Students quickly develop very close relationships with their own instructors as professors take an active interest in the professional development of students. Admission Requirements: 1) You must hold a four-year (minimum 120 credit hours) bachelor’s degree from a recognized university or be a candidate for the degree in May. 2) Your academic record must show evidence of above-average ability. Your cumulative grade-point average, calculated on your most recent 60 credit hours attempted, must be at least 2.7 on a scale where 4.3 is the highest mark attainable. (This is roughly equivalent to an average of B- or 70 per cent in other grading systems.) 3) You must be eligible for level 5 teacher certification with the New Brunswick Department of Education. This will require a four-year undergraduate degree of 120 credit hours. Applications must have either 30 credit hours as a major in a teachable subject area, or 24 credit hours in one major teachable subject area and 18 credit hours in another teachable subject area. Teachable majors and minors are listed at Required Teachables. They are required for New Brunswick teacher certification eligibility.
