Simon Fraser University is located on top of Burnaby Mountain in the City of Burnaby. Burnaby borders Vancouver and the University is approximately 20 minutes by car from Downtown. The Simon Fraser University Surrey Campus is located at Central City in the heart of Surrey.

PDP is completed in 3 consecutive semesters (12 months), full time, and is not available by Distance Education.

Approximately one third of the Program fee is due at the beginning of each semester.
All applicants to PDP must be admissible to Simon Fraser University. Contact Admissions in Student Services at 778.782.3397 or visit the Student Services web site for links to admission requirements. Declaring a BEd degree as your goal does not guarantee your acceptance into the PDP.
To meet our secondary level requirements you must have completed one major or two minors in teachable subjects. A major is approximately 15 to 18 hours of lower level coursework (100 & 200 level courses), plus approximately 30 hours of upper level coursework (300 & 400 level courses), all in one subject area. A minor is approximately 12 to 15 hours of lower level coursework, plus approximately 18 hours of upper level coursework in one subject. Please refer to the Simon Fraser University Calendar for specific major/minor requirements of a particular faculty or department.
English is the language of instruction and communication at the University. According to University regulations, an applicant whose primary language is not English must demonstrate a command of English sufficient to meet the demands of classroom instruction and written assignment. Such applicants are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) before applying. See the Simon Fraser University Calendar for more information.
The Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University is committed to increasing the participation in PDP of students from all ethno-cultural/racial/linguistic/sexual orientation and special needs groups, as well as others who have confronted identifiable barriers to post-secondary education. We would welcome any information you wish to provide in this regard concerning the needs/requirements/obligations of the group or groups with which you identify. Any information you wish to provide concerning how the PDP might best support your successful participation in the program (should you be accepted) would be welcome. You may include this information with your application or at any time in the future.
