Admission to the Concurrent Bachelor of Arts/ Bachelor of Education program will be discontinued after September 2007.

General
The BA or BA/BSc and BEd Concurrent Degree model is designed as a five year program to allow students to complete a degree program in Arts or Arts and Science and Education that prepares them to teach in a variety of learning environments.
Admissions Procedures
- Students will apply for entry to the BA or BA/BSc degree program upon completion of the high school program.
- Students may apply to the Faculty of Education Concurrent Program during their second term at UNB and, upon successful completion of all Year I requirements, may be admitted to the Concurrent Program.
- Students may enter the Concurrent Program later in their program; however, late entry may require more than five years to complete both degrees.
Concurrent Program Requirements - Total 168 ch
- 60 ch approved by the Faculty of Education.
- 120 ch approved by the Faculty of Arts which include all of the Arts or Arts and Science core requirements. 12 ch in Core Studies from Education may be counted toward this requirement, as elective courses in the BA degree.
- Under Arts Regulations, students may take a maximum of 6 ch of approved education courses in Year II.
- A student cannot get a BEd Degree by itself in this program; if a student withdraws from the Concurrent Program back into the BA Degree, a maximum of 12 ch of education courses may be transferred for Arts credit.
