Yellowhead Tribal College is now offering a 2-year Pre-Education Diploma Program leading to a B.Ed.

Program Details

YTC’s two-year Pre-Education Diploma program lays the foundation for a career in elementary or secondary education. Offering prerequisites for education degrees at a range of post-secondary institutions, the program prepares students to advance to the Bachelor’s stage and ultimately teach in provincially funded elementary and secondary schools. Students may choose between two streams: elementary education, where they will take a generalist course of study, and secondary education, where they will focus on languages, culture, and native education. Graduates from the 2-Year Pre-Education Diploma Program are eligible to apply for the Bachelor of Education at a variety of post-secondary institutions.
