About the course

Various Career and Technology Studies subjects can be taken as a major or minor as part of a Bachelor of Secondary Education. Note that you cannot enrol in both a major and a minor in CTS.

　　The available CTS majors/minors are Business, Administration, Finance, Computing Science, Health, Recreation, Human Sciences, Media, Design, Communication Arts, Natural Resources, and Trades, Manufacturing and Transportation.

　　Teaching is a calling, and we are dedicated to helping you become the homeroom teacher that your students will remember for a lifetime. Our Secondary Education program in the Faculty of Education prepares you to pass on your love of learning and discovery in almost any subject to students in grades 7-12. You’ll choose two areas of specialization — a major and minor — allowing you to pursue your passion and customize your experience.

　　The Secondary Education program includes a five-week Introductory Professional Term (IPT) and a nine-week Advanced Professional Term (APT). You will typically teach in your Major subject in both your IPT and APT.

　　This degree is normally taken as a four-year program but can also be taken as an after-degree. Upon completion of this program, you will be recommended for teacher certification in Alberta. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
