See
Fields of Diploma Specialization
for information about all of the Diploma options and their specific
course requirements. |
| |
|
| |
The
Diploma in Education requires the completion of 30 credits
of senior coursework (courses numbered 300 or higher)
with an average standing of 65%. The courses must be complete
within five years. |
| |
|
| |
Where
junior prerequisites are specified (courses
numbered below 300), these are in addition to the minimum requirements
of the Diploma. In some cases, prerequisite academic background
at a senior level is required. For example, a Diploma in Math
Education requires an academic Math background. A Math teacher
would be extending professional preparation in this area. |
| |
|
| |
Up
to 18 credits of appropriate UBC course work
can be taken prior to enrolling in the Diploma and 12
credits can be taken at another institution. See Advanced
Standing and Transfer of Credits for limitations
and procedures |
| |
|
| |
When
one Diploma is complete, a second Diploma may be undertaken.

Students
who choose a specialization in the Diploma in Education,
that is the same as the area of concentration in their initial
teacher preparation in the two year elementary program, may
find their course choices are limited. |
| |
|
| |
Courses
taken to fulfill degree requirements cannot be applied to the
Diploma. |
Diploma
Course Selection
| |
Diploma
courses are specified as either core requirements or electives.
|
| |
|
| |
Course
selection must include the listed required core courses as well
as electives. The electives must be conceptually consistent
with the Diploma. Some elective descriptions state that choices
must be "approved." In this case, contact the Department
Advisor for that Diploma before registering in the course of
your choice. Students are responsible for ensuring that courses
are acceptable within the Diploma specialization. |
| |
|
| |
Where
there is no indication of required approval, course selection
can be made from the list provided. |
| |
|
| |
For
course descriptions, course schedules and (eventually) registration
go to www.students.ubc.ca/calendar.
Not all courses in a Diploma will be offered every year or every
term. Teachers who work full-time will find many classes are
scheduled between 4:30 - 7:30 during the fall and winter sessions.
Many courses are offered in summer session. |

Appropriate
Pass/Fail courses are acceptable in Diplomas. Note that some
school districts do not accept Pass/Fail courses for change
of TQS category. Approvals from the district should be sought
prior to registering in these courses. Link
to pass/fail list. |

|
| |
Some
courses and Diplomas are also offered through Distance Education.
There is no limit to the number of distance education courses
taken to fulfill the specified requirements. See External
Programs and Learning Technologies. |
