Program details
Overview
Science Education at the University of Lethbridge combines undergraduate science study with teacher preparation, offered on the Lethbridge campus with fall intake only. Two credential paths are available: a combined Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education, and a Bachelor of Education (After Degree) for students who already hold an approved undergraduate degree. Within the combined degree, students choose a science specialization from Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, or a General Major in the Sciences, building subject knowledge through courses such as Evolution, Physical Chemistry, and Waves and Optics alongside instructional methods training. The program is described as emphasizing hands-on learning and research rather than lecture- and textbook-based instruction. Combined-degree applicants must meet the admission requirements for their non-education degree and, if transferring, a minimum 2.0 GPA; after-degree applicants need an approved undergraduate degree with an overall GPA of 2.0, completion of Education 2500, and a minimum amount of coursework in a science major. It suits students who want to pair a science discipline with formal teacher training, preparing them for roles such as classroom teacher, curriculum specialist, or adult education instructor in science-related subject areas.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Combined degree routes (B.Sc./B.Ed.) in Science Education are direct entry: applicants must meet the specific admission requirements for the paired Science degree (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, or a General Major in Sciences) as listed for that program, and Biology 30, Chemistry 30 and Physics 30 serve as prerequisites for particular courses within it. Applicants who already hold an approved undergraduate degree may apply After Degree, needing an overall GPA of at least 2.0, completion of Education 2500, and a minimum number of courses in a teaching-subject major with an average GPA of at least 2.0.
