52.9 Bachelor of Science (BSc)/Bachelor of Education (BEd) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program (Augustana)
52.9.1 Overview
The Bachelor of Science (BSc)/Bachelor of Education (BEd) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program (Augustana) is offered jointly by the Augustana Faculty and the Faculty of Education as an alternative to the BSc followed by a BEd After-Degree (a six-year route). It provides less flexibility in course choice and scheduling than taking the degrees consecutively, because it is designed to meet the minimum requirements of both degrees, as well as teacher certification requirements, in five years.
The program is normally completed in five years, three years in the Augustana Faculty and two years in the Faculty of Education.
52.9.2 Residence Requirement
A student in the Bachelor of Science (BSc)/Bachelor of Education (BEd) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program (Augustana) normally will be required to complete at least 60 of the first 90 of the program at the Augustana Campus while registered in the Augustana Faculty. Of the courses taken at the Augustana campus, at least 54 must consist of courses from year 2 and year 3 of the program. In addition, at least 60 must be completed while registered in the Faculty of Education in the final years of the program.
A student may take as many as 108 at the Augustana Campus, but will be registered as a student in the Faculty of Education for the final 60 of the program.
52.9.3 Program Requirements
The Bachelor of Science (BSc)/Bachelor of Education (BEd) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program (Augustana) consists of 102 arts and science plus 48 Education. The 150 in the program are made up of core and general requirements, Education requirements, a major subject, a minor subject, and options, as follows:
Core Requirements (36) Part A. The Augustana Core: Engagement (15) 15 from at least three of the following five categories with no more than 6 in any one category:

See §52 Augustana Chart 1 for lists of courses that satisfy these requirements. Courses that satisfy these requirements may overlap with the student’s major and minor and with prerequisites and supporting courses, but not with the Augustana Core: Knowledge requirements in Part B. Part B. The Augustana Core: Knowledge (21) 3 Fine Arts: any AUART except 228; any AUDRA except 228, 301; any AUMUS except 228, 375, 475. 6 Humanities. 6 Science. 6 Social Sciences. See §56.2 Classification of Courses for the definition of humanities, science and social sciences courses. Courses that satisfy these requirements may overlap with the general requirements, the student’s minor, prerequisites and supporting courses, but not with the student's major or with the Augustana Core: Engagement in Part A.

52.9.4 Selection of Courses
The following regulations govern the degrees program:
A student’s program must be approved by an advisor in the appropriate Faculty prior to the start of each Fall/Winter. | |
Within the 150 program, a student must complete a minimum of 48 science, 24 arts, and 48 Education. (See §56.2 Classification of Courses). | |
Normally, no more than 48 at the 100-level are permitted in the degrees program. | |
If there is overlap between the requirements of the selected major and minor, additional courses must be taken in the area of the major and/or minor such that the total number of credits on the major and minor is 60. This provision does not apply to courses listed as prerequisites or supporting courses. The courses to be taken to compensate for the overlap in requirements between a student’s major and minor subjects must be approved by the Chair of the Department of Science. |
52.9.5 Additional information for Students
Many of the Augustana Faculty’s senior science courses are offered only in alternate years, and some are offered only if there is sufficient student demand.
52.9.6 Academic Standing and Graduation
Continuation in the Bachelor of Science (BSc)/Bachelor of Education (BEd) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program (Augustana) requires a Fall/Winter Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.3. [See §23.4(7) regarding the rules for calculating Grade Point Average.]
A student who fails to meet the continuation requirement must withdraw from the BSc/BEd Degrees program. Such a student may transfer to another program in the Augustana Faculty, the Faculty of Education, or another Faculty, if entrance and promotion requirements for that program are met. After transfer, all requirements for the new program must be met. (See §55.6 for academic standing regulations pertaining to the Augustana Faculty BA and BSc programs and §73.4 for academic standing regulations for admission to the Faculty of Education BEd program.)
Graduation requirements for the Bachelor of Science (BSc)/Bachelor of Education (BEd) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program (Augustana) are specified in §73.7.8.
