SFU Education Faculty vs. UBC Education Faculty?
Hi, I'm a 2nd year Education & English student currently attending SFU. One of my peers told me that UBC has a strong program for people who are considering Special Education. I went to UBC website, and they seem to have a lot more programs (specific ones) for Education students, which is really useful because with job difficulty in teaching nowadays, it's always good to become more focused.
The question is this: I have a CGPA of 3.92 in SFU, but I am worried whether if UBC courses are more difficult than SFU. (heard that it is like that for Science, but what about for others?) I also have to consider the fact that I will be taking a bus from Langley to UBC, which will take away a bulk of 3 hours.
Would a transfer be really worth it? Can I be admitted with CGPA of 3.92? Is UBC Education Program stronger than SFU's? Do those specific programs really make you to be more qualifiable for jobs?
I don't know where else to ask. If any of you know any good ways to find the information, please leave me a reply! I would really appreciate it :)
