Concurrent Education/Kinesiology
Popularly known as Con-Ed, Concurrent Education is a program for high school graduates with a passion for teaching and learning. For September 2023, Queen's will be expanding its popular Concurrent Education program to include the opportunity for students to complete a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Kinesiology concurrently with their Bachelor of Education.
Queen’s Concurrent Education is a 5-year + 1 summer term program that prepares secondary school graduates to become educators and qualify for Ontario College of Teachers certification. Our graduates are out into the job market a year earlier since most other Ontario faculties of education offer their programs over 6 years with typical fall/winter semesters.
With Queen’s ConEd, you will be working on 2 degrees at the same time, both from day 1! The Education degree from Queen’s (BEd) is widely accepted for teacher certification across Canada and worldwide. What makes Queen’s grads more marketable is that they will all graduate with a concentration in 1 subject area.
Process for Transcript Submission for BC Curriculum Applicants:
We now require BC high school curriculum students to have their grades sent electronically by the BC Ministry of Education Student Transcript Service (STS). For this to occur, two steps are required. First, they must include their Personal Education Number (PEN) as part of their Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) application. Second, they must authorize the BC Ministry of Education to release their academic information (transcript) to OUAC through the Student Transcripts Service.
We are asking that schools not send us transcripts this year but guide their students through the process as outlined above.
