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.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
