Graduation Requirements
Graduation will require a minimum average of 75% in both the Major in Catholic Studies for Teachers and the course group supporting the second teachable subject, with no mark below 60% in any course. Meeting the graduation requirements for this program will guarantee acceptance into the BEd Intermediate/Senior program at the Faculty of Education at The University of Western Ontario with Religious Education as a teachable subject.
Students who fall short of the requirements in this program may meet the requirements for an Honors Bachelor Degree with a double Major including a Major in Catholic Studies, or a Four-Year Bachelor's Degree with a Catholic Studies module, and may apply to the Faculty of Education on that basis. These modules offer students an excellent preparation for studies at Faculties of Education where Religious Education (as taught in Roman Catholic schools) is offered as a teachable subject, but do not guarantee admission to the Faculty of Education at The University of Western Ontario.
