What it is	An Arts degree at King's focuses on language, thought, and belief through subjects like English, French, Philosophy, and Theology. You study texts, ideas, and how people understand the world through writing, culture, and religion rather than science or professional training. This program suits students who enjoy reading, discussion, and deep thinking about meaning and expression.	You study how buildings are designed and constructed, combining architecture with engineering principles like structural systems, materials, and building codes. This program requires you to do co-op work terms alongside your studies, so you alternate between school and paid job placements in design firms or construction companies. It suits students who want hands-on experience in the building industry and prefer learning by doing real projects, not just in classrooms.	In this program, you study an Arts subject — such as English, Economics, Drama, or Environmental Studies — while simultaneously earning your teaching qualification. Unlike a regular BA where you add teacher training after, you complete both degrees together over four years, so you graduate ready to teach your subject in Ontario schools. It suits students who know they want to teach a specific subject and want to combine their subject expertise with education training from the start.
