Program details
Overview
This program leads to teacher certification for elementary schools, offered through the Faculty of Education as a four-year Bachelor of Education or a two-year Bachelor of Education After Degree, with an online After Degree option also available and both routes offered full-time or part-time. Students choose between an Early Elementary strand, covering Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 5, or a Middle Years strand, covering Grades 6 to 9. Field experience begins in year one and continues throughout the program, with more intensive placements in year three coordinated with education coursework, leading to an intensive sixteen-week internship under a cooperating teacher's daily supervision. Coursework addresses equitable assessment and evaluation, teaching in a digital environment, and culturally responsive and anti-oppressive teaching practices, including treaty education. The program suits students aiming to teach younger grades and interested in inclusive, community-oriented pedagogy. Graduates are positioned for careers as elementary school teachers, with additional opportunities in early childhood settings and community-based education programs, pending certification from the Saskatchewan Teachers' Professional Regulatory Board.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The elementary teacher education page has no admission list of its own and links to the general application guide; the specifics below are the Faculty of Education's Saskatchewan high-school pathway. Grade 12 students can be admitted early-conditionally with a 65% average across four approved 20/30-level courses. Final admission needs Saskatchewan Secondary standing with English Language Arts 30, two further approved 30-level courses and one additional approved 30-level course, to a 65% average; all Education programs are competitive entry, and the Elementary Education program specifically requires one 30-level Math course (Calculus 30 does not count toward this requirement). The Faculty of Education sets its own, higher English-proficiency bar than the rest of the university: IELTS Academic 7.0 overall (Speaking/Writing 7.0, Listening/Reading 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 103 (Reading 24, Listening 23, Speaking 27, Writing 25).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
