What it isYou earn a Bachelor of Arts in History while simultaneously completing a Bachelor of Education degree, both finishing at the same time over four years. This integrated structure means you study history content and teaching methods together, rather than completing an arts degree first and then teacher training separately. It suits students who are confident they want to teach history at the secondary level and want to combine subject expertise with education training from the start.You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.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.
