| What it is | You study how to help people and communities solve social problems by combining practical social work skills with an understanding of policy and systems. This four-year program prepares you to work directly with clients — individuals, families, or groups facing poverty, abuse, mental health challenges, or other hardships — while also learning how social policies shape these issues. It suits people who want hands-on helping work but also care about the larger systems and laws that affect people's lives. | This program trains you to teach junior and intermediate students (roughly grades 4 to 10) by combining a university degree in arts subjects with teacher education coursework. You study one or two arts subjects like English, history, or psychology while also taking education courses that teach you how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess student learning. It suits people who want to teach a specific subject and earn a teaching credential in four years rather than doing a separate degree first. | 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. |
