Why learn at the University of Alberta?
Teaching is a vocation, and we're dedicated to shaping educators who profoundly influence young minds. Our Secondary Education program equips you to foster academic enthusiasm in grades 7-12 students. You'll focus on two specialization areas (one major, one minor) to personalize your learning journey. The curriculum features hands-on experience through a 5-week Introductory Professional Term (IPT) and 9-week Advanced Professional Term (APT), typically teaching your major subject in both placements.

While normally a four-year program, it's also available as an after degree. Graduates receive certification recommendation upon completion.
