What it isThis is a four-year program that combines an honours degree in one subject (like English, French, History, or Visual Arts) with teacher training for grades 7 through 12. Unlike a regular honours degree followed by separate teacher certification, you study both your subject and education courses together from the start, so you graduate ready to teach. It suits people who know they want to teach a specific subject at the high school level and want to earn their teaching qualification without extra study later.Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work — covering everything from politics and law to anthropology and economics. Unlike a specialist program in one subject, this degree lets you combine courses across multiple disciplines so you can explore what interests you most. It suits students curious about human behaviour, culture, institutions, and social change who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a narrow path.You study both political science and law together in a single six-year program, rather than pursuing them separately. Political science teaches you how governments, institutions, and policies actually work; law gives you the training needed to become a lawyer, including courtroom procedures and legal reasoning. This combined stream suits people who want to understand politics deeply and work as lawyers in government, policy, or public interest law.Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.
