What it is	In this program, you study French language and literature while completing teacher training at the same time, earning both an Arts degree and a teaching credential in four years. Unlike a regular Arts degree followed by a separate teacher's program, you integrate education courses throughout, so you graduate ready to teach French in Ontario schools. It suits students who know they want to teach French and want to combine academic depth in the language with practical classroom skills from the start.	You study a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about.	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.
