Students at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus will now be able to complete an entire Bachelor of Education (Elementary) degree at Augustana through a partnership with the Faculty of Education. The expanded offering will ensure students can become teachers while remaining closer to home. The program includes a rural placement in an elementary school in the area. “These field experiences will significantly widen opportunities for pre-service teachers to gain valuable experience in rural communities and after graduation, potentially increasing the pool of professionals available to fill vacant spaces in these schools,” said UAlberta Augustana Dean Dr John Parkins. The program will launch in Fall 2027.
