Education (Concurrent) – Primary/Junior

General information

Concurrent Education allows students to apply directly for advanced acceptance into a Consecutive Education program at the same time as applying for an undergraduate degree. The Concurrent Education option is available for both the Primary/Junior (Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6) and Intermediate/Senior (Grade 7 to 12) programs. The program allows students to participate in education seminars, visit classes and discover if a career in education is right for them. Students will be encouraged to meet faculty, current teacher candidates and graduates to gain a better understanding of the teaching profession and the multiple career paths one can pursue with a Bachelor of Education degree.

Program availability

The Primary/Junior Concurrent Education program is available for undergraduate students in the following faculties:

• Faculty of Business and Information Technology
• Faculty of Education
• Faculty of Health Sciences (Nursing program only)
• Faculty of Social Science and Humanities

Admission requirements

Applicants interested in pursuing the Concurrent Education option must apply directly to the undergraduate program of their choice on the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) website. Applicants must meet all prerequisites for the undergraduate application, as well as a competitive admission average. For more information, see admissions . 

Upon completion of the undergraduate program, eligible students will directly enter the Bachelor of Education program. Acceptance is dependent on GPA and subject specialization requirements.
