萊斯布里奇大學(xué)

The Department of Biological Sciences provides you with a great deal of hands-on learning and engaging research, moving you beyond text books and lectures. Chemistry is often called the Central Science as it deals specifically with the 110 elements that comprise all matter. The air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, buildings we live in, cars we drive - our very bodies - are all made from these elements. Chemists pursue the study of matter down to the level of individual atoms, and, in particular, focus on molecules, which are aggregates of elements that act as larger units. Physics is the fundamental science. All other sciences and technologies rely on the principles of physics, by applying them to their systems of interest and/or by using technology based on them.

As an Education major a student develops a strong knowledge base in the subject area they intend to teach. They also receive in-depth preparation in how to teach, including both general and subject area instructional methods.

The following degrees can be combined with the Bachelor of Education (Science Education) degree:

• Biological Sciences
• Chemistry
• General Major in the Sciences
• Geography
• Physics

The Faculty of Education does not grant direct entry. Students complete two years in a Pre-Education program prior to applying for admission to the Faculty. After two years of Pre-Education, admission to the Faculty of Education is competitive and is based on your university grades and meeting other requirements. The required average will vary depending on your area of study.

These classes, or their equivalents, are pre-requisites for specific courses in this program, but are not required for general admission purposes: Biology 30, Chemistry 30 and Physics 30.

Students may meet the Science Education major requirements by completing a major in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physical Geography, Physics, or Urban and Regional Studies, or the General Major in the Sciences (at least 7 courses in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physical Geography, or Physics and 4 courses in each of two other disciplines in the Sciences).

Possible Careers

• Life Skills Instructors

If You Already Have a Degree:

If you wish to enter the Faculty of Education with a major in Science Education, you must possess a recognized degree which includes a major in an area of science, such as Biology, Physics, or Chemistry. In addition, all other prerequisites for admission must be met.

At the time of admission, if your degree is approved, both certification and BEd requirements may be met with the completion of 20 courses in Education.
