Dual Degree

Complete your UBC Bachelor degree studies alongside the UBC Bachelor of Education (secondary option). The dual degree option is completed in five years with reduced credits rather than the traditional four years plus one year degree path to the BEd degree. After completing all the requirements, students will be eligible for a British Columbia Professional Teaching Certificate.
