The Werklund School of Education in partnership with the Faculties of Arts, Science, and Kinesiology offers a number of five-year concurrent degree programs. Students complete three years with the Faculties of Arts, Sciences or Kinesiology and two years with the Werklund School of Education. Students complete Years 1, 2, and 4 in Arts, Sciences or Kinesiology and Years 3 and 5 in Werklund School of Education.

The concurrent program is based on 20 full-course equivalents (120 semester credit hours) of which 10 full-course equivalents (60 credits) are completed within the Werklund School of Education, and 10 full-course equivalents (60 credits) external to the Werklund School of Education. A minimum of 4.0 full-course equivalents (24 semester hour credits) are in alignment with Alberta Education certification requirements based on students' BEd specialization.
