What it isThis program lets you earn both a Bachelor of Arts (or International Bachelor of Arts or Science) and a teaching credential in English at the same time, rather than doing them separately. You study English literature, language, and writing alongside education theory and classroom practice, so you graduate ready to teach high school English. It suits students who are confident they want to teach and want to compress their studies into four years instead of five.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.You study an arts or media subject like drama, creative writing, fine art, or music while simultaneously completing teacher training. Unlike a regular arts degree followed by separate teacher certification, you earn both your subject degree and your teaching credential in one integrated program. This suits people who know they want to teach their artistic passion and want to combine the two paths from the start.
