Aim

The aim of the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Education is to provide a broad science education through a combination of majors and minors from the science disciplines of applied physics, biology, chemistry, computer and information science, environmental systems, geoscience, geospatial information systems, mathematics and some others. The program aims to produce graduates who have an understanding of the fundamental concepts of the sciences they have elected to study, while the education components will develop skilled, committed and flexible education professionals who have the knowledge and pedagogical skills to promote effective and inclusive learning in a variety of education settings. It also aims to develop professionals who possess a critical awareness of the broader social, political, historical, and economic contexts of education and who can adapt to, and contribute to, changing the educational agenda.

Content & Structure

Students have a choice of a number of professional majors in the sciences offering broadly based science studies as well as advanced studies in one or more of the professional science disciplines. The education components offer a combination of theory and practice and provide students with opportunities to demonstrate their understanding in school placements.
