Concurrent Bachelor of Arts in French Studies/Bachelor of Education
The Concurrent Bachelor of Arts in French Studies/Bachelor of Education Program is offered jointly over four or five years by the French Studies Program and the Faculty of Education. The program prepares individuals to teach at the junior and intermediate levels (grades 4 to 10), with a particular emphasis on teaching French as a Second Language in grades 4 to 8.
Graduates of this program will receive two degrees and will acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for teaching French as a Second Language (Core French or Immersion) in the English language school system (Public or Roman Catholic school system) 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 career. Students can qualify for the Bachelor of Arts (General or Honours) degree in French Studies 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 French Studies Program and in the Faculty of Education, each year, 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" French, or their equivalents (such as College Boreal High School equivalency French courses) to be accepted.
