What you study	Education Studies	Education Studies Social Policy Social Work
What it is	You study how education works — teaching methods, learning science, school systems, and the social side of how people learn — rather than training to teach in a classroom. This program includes co-op work terms where you gain real experience in schools and education settings alongside your coursework. It suits students curious about education as a field of study who want hands-on experience before deciding whether to pursue teaching, educational leadership, or other education-related careers.	You study both teaching and social work together, learning how to educate young people while understanding the social issues that affect their lives and families. This concurrent program combines teacher training with social work coursework rather than requiring you to complete a teaching degree first. It suits people who want to teach but also care deeply about supporting students' wellbeing and addressing inequality in schools.
