What it isYou study psychology and early childhood education at the same time, completing a bachelor's degree in both fields plus a diploma in early childhood practice. Unlike studying these subjects separately, this concurrent program integrates them so you graduate qualified to teach young children with grounding in psychological development. It suits people drawn to working with preschool and primary-age children who want both academic credentials and direct teaching certification.Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.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.
