Education/Science Combined Degrees

Program Description

Campus Saint-Jean offers a combined program that allows students to obtain two degrees (one in science and one in education) at the very beginning of their careers. Students who already possess a bachelor's degree may enroll in a two-year program in order to obtain a degree in education. This dual program enables schools to cope with the great shortage of french-speaking science teachers at the high school level.

This is an accelerated five-year program that leads to obtaining two bachelor's degrees, with the choice of one of the three majors in science listed below. All students have a double minor: the first is mandatory in French and the second is chosen from the following list.

"The academic challenge posed by the combined science and education program, the open spirit of the community, as well as the linguistic and cultural diversity of CSJ have allowed me to establish a foundation from which I continue to experience the world around me, my interests and my passion for teaching.
