Graduates of an ECE diploma program from Fanshawe College with a minimum GPA of 2.5 are eligible to bridge into Level 5 of the Fanshawe College Honours Bachelor of Early Childhood Leadership degree.
A summer bridge term is required prior to entering level 5. The bridging term runs from May to August. The Bridging term consists of the following four courses:
- Bridging Course #1: Evidence Based Practice in Early Childhood
- Bridging Course #2: Introduction to Early Childhood Leadership
- Composition & Rhetoric from the Honours Bachelor of Early Childhood Leadership program
- Degree Level Breadth Course Elective (it is recommended that this be a subject other than an SOSC course)
The anticipated schedule of student progression is a minimum of two years, including summer bridge, four academic levels and one co-op work term. Students need to contact their Program Coordinator to review their program completion plan. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all degree requirements are met prior to graduation.
