BA/BS in Secondary Education (Campus Saint-Jean)

This undergraduate teaching credential is offered by the University of Alberta's Campus Saint-Jean in Edmonton and prepares students to teach at the secondary level, primarily within French immersion and Francophone school systems in Alberta and Western Canada. Students combine pedagogical coursework with subject-area specialization by selecting a major and a minor from options that include social studies, French, mathematics, music, and general sciences for majors, and English, drama, physical education, and the sciences among others for minors. The program is entered directly, without a preparatory year, and includes classroom observation starting in the first year alongside practicum placements supported by the campus's practicum office. It also offers opportunities for professional development and international exchange. Instruction is delivered in person at the Campus Saint-Jean site on Rue Marie-Anne Gaboury in Edmonton. The page notes that a shortage of French-language teachers makes education graduates from the campus highly sought after. The program suits students who want to teach in French or French-immersion settings at the secondary level and who wish to combine language-focused instruction with a specific subject specialization.
