Joint RRC Polytech Programs

The University of Winnipeg offers several teacher education programs in conjunction with Red River College Polytechnic.

Industrial Arts Education

Integrated Program − Students may enter the five year, 159 credit hour Integrated BEd/BA or BSc Industrial Arts Education program directly from high school, or as transfer students from another program or faculty. Students will be prepared to teach Industrial Arts, as well as a second subject based on their academic major.  Students in the Integrated program attend both RRC Polytech and UW in each year of the program. The schedule for which days will take place at which institutions can be found on page 20 in the Information Booklet for Industrial Arts Education Program located at the bottom of this section.

After-Degree Program − We also offer a three year, 99 credit hour After-Degree option for students who have completed an undergraduate degree. Students in the After-Degree program will spend the first two years at RRC Polytech, and the final year at UW.  Students must have completed an 18 credit hour teachable minor prior to attending UW. Completion of a teachable minor may require courses beyond the first degree.
