EDUCATION / MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
Concurrent Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Education
The Concurrent Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Education Program is offered jointly over four or five years by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Faculty of Education. The aim is to provide the opportunity and education to individuals who wish to teach mathematics in schools at the intermediate and senior levels (Grade 7 through the end of secondary school).
Graduates of this program will receive two degrees and will acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for two teachable subjects and fulfill the requirements for certification by the Ontario College of Teachers. It offers students the opportunity to begin working towards teaching certification early in their academic careers. Students can qualify for the Bachelor of Mathematics degree while concurrently studying education and doing practice teaching in schools. Practice teaching begins in Year One of the program. All students should see an advisor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and in the Faculty of Education, on a regular basis, to discuss course selection and academic progress.
APPLICATION AND ADMISSION
Admission is to first-year only. Applicants must present six Grade 12 "U" or "M" courses including Grade 12 "U" English I, Grade 12 "U" Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus, and Grade 12 "U" Geometry and Discrete Mathematics, or their equivalents. Admission also requires completion and submission of a student profile, by the prescribed deadline. Enrollment in this program is limited to 10 students.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
CONCURRENT BACHELOR OF MATHEMATICS (GENERAL)/ BACHELOR OF EDUCATION
Total course equivalents:
Forty-five
CONCURRENT BACHELOR OF MATHEMATICS (HONOURS)/ BACHELOR OF EDUCATION
Total course equivalents:
Fifty-five
All students are required to complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Mathematics (General or Honours) degree program, in addition to the following Education courses: 80-203 (4.0), 80-204 (4.0), 80-205 (4.0), 80-331 (1.5), 80-332 (2.0), 80-333 (1.5), 80-334 (2.0), 80-335 (2.0), 80-336 (1.5), 80-337 (1.5) and 80-338 (1.5) and 80-366 (6.0); plus one additional course in the range of 80-352 through 80-380 (6.0); and seventy days of Practice Teaching (80-491 (1.5), 80-492 (2.0), 80-493 (2.0) and 80-494 (2.0)). Requirements can also be met for teaching in the Roman Catholic school system by taking 80-200 as an eighth Education course.
Mathematics will be the first teachable subject for students in this program. All students must select a group of courses that provide a second teachable subject (6 approved courses in one area) and are advised to seek the recommendations of the program co-ordinators to ensure that their selection of courses fulfills B.Math.(General or Honours) degree requirements, as well as the requirements for a 'teachable' subject from the perspective of the Faculty of Education.
Many students elect to complete the Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours) degree, thus increasing the range of their career opportunities. Students should make this decision during their second year of studies.

Note:
Third year in this sequence contains no Education courses. This is to permit students to complete required Mathematics and Statistics courses for prerequisite purposes, and to ensure that the practice teaching component is close to the end of the program, to meet certification requirements. Having the fourth year without Education courses, rather than the third, is also permitted.
PRACTICE TEACHING
Directed observation and practice teaching will be arranged by the Faculty of Education to include practical experience in schools and programs applicable to the concentration for which the student is a candidate. Candidates in this program will complete their practice teaching in classes from grade seven to the end of Secondary School, inclusive.
STANDING REQUIRED FOR CONTINUATION
Students must comply with the general university regulations. In addition candidates who obtain a final grade of less than a C in (a) practice teaching, or (b) three or more Education courses in the program will not be recommended for certification. Flexible learning available at Windsor allows students to take some of their required B.Math. courses in Summer Term (Intersession or Summer courses).
GRADUATION
For Standing Required for Graduation. Graduates of the program will receive both the Bachelor of Mathematics (General or Honours) and the Bachelor of Education (General) degrees.
The Faculty of Education does not issue a teaching certificate. The Ontario Certificate of Qualification is issued by the Ontario College of Teachers upon recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty of Education. Only Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada qualify for this certificate.
