Approved Changes to B.Ed. Admission Criteria for 2026-27 Intake Dear Colleagues, On October 30, 2024, Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning announced significant changes to teacher certification requirements in the province. In response to these changes, the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Education engaged in an extensive and thorough consultative process with all internal and external stakeholders. We are pleased to share that, at the May 14, 2025 meeting of Senate, the faculty's proposed updates to B.Ed. admissions were approved. These changes will take effect for the 2026-27 application cycle (with a deadline of February 1, 2026). Summary of Updated B.Ed. Admission Criteria Early & Middle Years Streams
* A bachelor's degree from a recognized post-secondary institution (minimum 90 credit hours) * A minimum 2.50 Adjusted Grade Point Average (AGPA) * Applicants wishing to declare a specialization in Music Education or Physical Education (in Early Years), or a specialization in Music Education, Physical Education, Art, or Human Ecology (in Middle Years) must present 18 credit hours of specific coursework if their first degree is outside of these specialization areas. A minimum grade of 'C' is required in all specialization course work. Senior Years Stream
* A bachelor's degree from a recognized post-secondary institution (minimum 90 credit hours) * A minimum 2.50 Adjusted GPA * 24-credit hours in a first teachable subject area (formerly "teachable major") * 15-credit hours in a second teachable subject area (formerly "teachable minor") * Applicants declaring a specialization in Music Education, Physical Education, Art, or Human Ecology without a matching degree will require additional coursework. * A minimum grade of 'C' is required in all coursework used towards a first and second teachable subject area and specialization, if applicable.

I'm no longer in the moderating role, but my guess is the moderator thought this was spam(we got a few overnight)
Ali - Did Zach moderate these?
