Program details

Overview

The Elementary Education Associate of Arts Degree is a two-year, 60-credit university-transfer credential at Selkirk College's Castlegar campus and a pathway to a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education. Coursework satisfies the Canadian-content, mathematics, laboratory-science and English requirements set for British Columbia university education programs, so graduates can continue directly into a Bachelor of Education program and later apply for BC teacher certification. The associate degree is a formally established, province-wide-recognized credential, delivered on campus across four terms with intakes in Fall, Winter and Spring. Graduation requires completion of 60 credits of university-level study in the designated subject areas with an overall GPA of 2.0. Students planning to transfer should confirm course equivalencies through the BC Transfer Guide before continuing at another institution.
