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.	You study acting, theatre production, and performance, with mandatory work placements built into your degree. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters in the classroom and paid or unpaid terms working in theatres, film sets, media companies, or community arts organizations. This program suits people who want practical experience alongside training in how theatre and drama work as art forms and communication tools.	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.
