What it is	This 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.	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.	You study how governments, organizations, and institutions make decisions and solve public problems, combining politics, policy analysis, and communication. The program lets you focus on areas like international development, social policy, or media's role in public discourse, and you can pair it with a communication degree if you want. It suits people interested in working in government, non-profits, advocacy groups, or international organizations where understanding policy and public issues matters more than technical expertise.
