What you study	Education Studies French Studies	Anthropology Economics Health Informatics Human Geography
What it is	You study how to teach French to English speakers, combined with a full bachelor's degree in French or another subject. You earn both a BA (or BSc) and a teaching credential at the same time, rather than doing them separately. This suits people who are fluent or nearly fluent in French, want to teach the language in Ontario schools, and prefer an integrated path to certification.	Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
