What it is	You study education theory and teaching methods while completing coursework in arts subjects. This is a direct path to teacher certification in Ontario, meaning you'll graduate ready to teach high school arts subjects rather than taking education courses after finishing an arts degree. It suits students who know they want to teach humanities subjects and want their degree and teaching qualification combined into one program.	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.	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.
