Concurrent Program Academic Requirements for Junior/Intermediate and Intermediate/Senior Teaching Subjects The requirements noted below are for admission to the teachable subject practicum seminar (ED/XXXX 3041 3.00 or ED/XXXX 3051 6.00) and separate from the requirements for the home faculty degree. For the junior/intermediate program a minimum of 18 credits (three full university course equivalents) in a subject must be taken in order to register in the teaching subject curriculum and instruction course. A candidate requires a minimum of 24 credits (four full university course equivalents) in the teaching subject in order to graduate. For the intermediate/senior program a minimum of 24 credits (four full university courses) in the subject area must be taken in order to register in the teaching subject curriculum and instruction course. A candidate requires a minimum of 36 credits (six full university courses) in one teaching subject area and 24 credits (four full university courses) in the other area to graduate. Candidates are expected to achieve a minimum of C+ in each course fulfilling the requirements for a teaching subject for junior/intermediate and intermediate/senior. Failure to do so may result in a suspension or involuntary withdrawal from the program or other appropriate recommendation at the discretion of the Faculty adviser and the associate dean (pre-service). It is highly recommended by the Qualifications Evaluation Council of Ontario (QECO) and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) that teacher candidates complete 54 credits (nine full university courses) in a teaching subject to qualify for the highest pay rate as a teacher.

Academic courses should be taken according to the following patterns (note that Glendon, Atkinson, Environmental Studies or other equivalents may be designated by an adviser). Business Studies
