Diploma Programs

The Faculty of Education offers several *24 credit diploma programs that can be completed over four years and are designed to provide you with an additional area of specialization in the field of Education.  Some examples are Teaching English as a Second Language and Early Childhood Education.

Admission to a diploma program normally requires an undergraduate degree and a professional teaching certificate.  Additional requirements and limitations on enrolment numbers may be established for particular diploma programs.

All applicants to the diploma program, whether a new student or one returning to the U of A, must complete an Application of Admission, Readmission or Internal Transfer Form, and submit it along with all of the relevant documentation to the Office of the Registrar by the published deadline.
