Faculty of Education (ED) - BEd (Technological Education) Program

York's Faculty of Education offers an opportunity to pursue a teaching career in Technological Education. The Concurrent Bachelor of Education (BEd) in Technological Education is only open to individuals enrolled in a related applied field. Applicants must apply to the Intermediate/Senior certification level. The curriculum is delivered over two years in coordination with the programs offered at Ontario colleges/universities to ensure completion of requirements for both the Bachelor of Education and the related degree. The related degree must include at least six full-time terms (e.g. September-December or January-April) of coursework and one year of cooperative education (i.e. related continuous employment terms of no less than four months each of wage-earning experience).
