Great opportunities exist for students with a business or business-related diploma from an approved college who want to study management and education. A special partnership with the Faculty of Education allows business diploma graduates the option to complete this degree in three and a half years and leads to two degrees being awarded.
The post-diploma Bachelor of Management/Bachelor of Education - Career and Technology Studies (CTS): Business Focus (Post Diploma B.Mgt./B.Ed.) combined degree program consists of 20 Education, eight Management and seven arts and science courses. The combined degree program includes three professional semesters where students practice teaching in schools.
This program is only available at the Lethbridge campus.
Admission Requirements
Students begin in the Pre-Post-Diploma B.Mgt./B.Ed. program in the Dhillon School of Business. After completion of one or two terms, including Education 2500, students must apply for admission to the Faculty of Education. Students are not officially in the Post-Diploma B.Mgt./B.Ed. Combined Degrees program until they have been admitted to both the Dhillon School of Business and the Faculty of Education. Enrolment in both the Dhillon School of Business and the Faculty of Education is limited and fulfillment of the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the Combined Degrees program.
Applicants may gain admission to the competitive Pre-Post-Diploma BMgt/BEd program by completing approved business diploma in Business Administration or Management, completed not more than eight years prior to admission, with a cumulative GPA at or above the current admission cut-off and not less than 2.00 (on the University of Lethbridge 4.00 scale). Admission to the Pre-Post-Diploma BMgt/BEd program is guaranteed to applicants who have completed an approved diploma with a GPA of 3.00 or higher (on the University of Lethbridge 4.00 scale). See www.uleth.ca/postdiploma for current information on diplomas approved for admission to the Pre-Post-Diploma BMgt/BEd program. The Dhillon School of Business will consider diplomas not previously approved for admission on a case-by-case basis.
Applicants are encouraged to consult early with Student Program Services in the Faculty of Education regarding admission requirements and program planning.
