Program Overview

With two years of courses from your associate degree, you’ll be well on your way to completing your bachelor with most or all of the admission requirements for entry into third year at BC universities. After you graduate with your bachelor degree, you can come back to the West Kootenay and complete your bachelor of education in the West Kootenay Teacher Education Program (WKTEP) delivered by the University of British Columbia.

Take this program if you love connecting with young minds and having the chance to be part of shaping their future. With a career in education you have the opportunity to contribute to the next generation’s success—and your own. It’s a win for everyone.

As part of your associate degree at Selkirk College, you can choose courses that satisfy the Canadian content, math, laboratory science and English requirements to enter a university education program.  Our instructors work alongside you to ensure you get the best education possible, just like you’ll do when it’s your turn at the blackboard.
