What it isYou study a subject like mathematics, science, languages, or the arts while simultaneously earning your teaching credentials. Unlike a traditional four-year degree followed by a separate teacher's program, concurrent education combines both components in one integrated program, so you graduate with two degrees at once. This suits students who are confident about teaching and want to enter the classroom sooner rather than delay their teacher training.This program combines arts courses — drawn from fields like English, history, economics, and creative writing — with business studies to prepare you for careers that value both analytical and communication skills. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements at real companies, giving you experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broader education than straight business but need practical skills for the job market.Arts and Humanities programs at Western let you study literature, history, languages, creative work, and visual art — subjects focused on human culture and expression rather than science or business. You can pursue a general BA, combine business with arts, earn a specialized BFA in fine art, or complete a shorter certificate or diploma. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements related to your field. This suits people drawn to writing, analysis, visual creativity, or understanding how societies and cultures work.
