Associate of Arts - Elementary Education

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

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