Grading Scheme for Bachelor of Education and Master of Education programs
The School of Education adopted a grading scheme different than the UNBC standardized grading system for each of the degree programs as represented in the Undergraduate and GraduateCalendars. The Bachelor of Education grading scheme has been used in the Bachelor of Education program since 2007. The Master of Education grading scheme was adopted effective immediately at the September 1st, 2015 Annual General Meeting. Any questions should be direct to the School of Education Chair, Dr. Andrew Kitchenham.
Research Opportunities
There are a number of research opportunities for School of Education faculty through the UNBC Research Office and through outside agencies. As well, through the School of Education, each tenured, tenure-track, and term instructor is eligible for a small stipend for presenting at or attending a conference once a year. For research involving human subjects, the Research Ethics Board requires a detailed application and meets once a month for most of the academic year.

What Can I do with a Degree in Education
Bachelor of Education
Teacher candidates in both the Elementary and Secondary streams complete course work and practicum experiences over a two-year period. Upon completion, successful candidates are granted a B.Ed. degree and will be recommended to the Teacher Regulation Branch for a professional teaching certificate. Individuals require this certificate to teach in the public schools in the province of British Columbia.

The Counselling specialization is designed to prepare counsellors to provide professional services and leadership in counselling and psycho-educational programs offered in schools, post-secondary institutions, social service agencies, community health organizations.
Multidisciplinary Leadership (next start date: September 2018)

The normal completion rate for full-time students is between two and four years and between three and six years for part-time students.
