Program details
Overview
Burman University's Education program leads to a Bachelor of Education, offered in Elementary and Secondary streams, along with a two-year After Degree option for students who already hold a bachelor's degree. Field experience runs throughout the program, including microteaching activities and time in real classrooms, alongside opportunities for education research that can lead to peer-reviewed publication. Students in the Secondary stream can specialize in a subject area such as Biology, Business, English, Mathematics, Music, Religious Studies, or Social Studies. The program is delivered on Burman's Lacombe, Alberta campus. It suits students preparing to teach in K-12 schools, career-changers who already hold a degree and want a faster route into teaching, and those aiming eventually at school administration, curriculum development, or counselling roles within education.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Education's own admissions page defers to Burman University's general undergraduate admission requirements: completion of high school with English 30-1 (or equivalent) at a minimum of 60%, four further grade 12 courses of which three must be academic, and an overall average of 60% with no individual grade below 55%. Burman's program-specific requirements page sets additional prerequisites by specialization route: Math 30-1 (60%) or Math 30-2 (70%) plus a grade 12 science course and Social Studies 30-1 for Elementary; Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Math 30-1 for Secondary Biology; Math 30-1 at a minimum of 70% plus Chemistry 30 for Secondary Mathematics; and Math 30-1 with Social Studies 30-1 for Secondary Social Studies. The After-Degree route instead requires a completed three- or four-year bachelor's degree with a minimum 2.5 GPA. Applicants should confirm the exact prerequisites for their chosen route. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Burman's English proficiency standard: IELTS Academic overall 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (560 paper-based), CAEL 70, PTE Academic 58, or Duolingo English Test 110.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Burman University does not publish a fixed application-closing date for domestic applicants; admission is described as non-competitive and there is no deadline to accept an offer, so in practice domestic admission runs on a rolling basis. The one concrete date found applies to international applicants: for Fall intake, students other than those from the USA must have documents submitted and financial clearance arranged by 8 May, though this figure was published for the Fall 2026 intake and Burman has not yet posted an equivalent date for Fall 2027. No named application service is used; applicants apply directly to Burman (Albertans via ApplyAlberta, others via Burman's own form). No programme-specific deadlines were found for Education, Music, or other majors beyond this general international documents deadline. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
