You’ll study for five years to complete an Honours BA in Child and Youth Studies or Educational Studies, and a Bachelor of Education (BEd) at the same time.

BA Child and Youth Studies (Honours)/BEd: This five-year concurrent degree program provides students with an overview of the broad field of education and reinforces the idea that education is intimately tied to society and occurs in a wide variety of settings. The overarching goal of the program is to develop graduates who understand the potential of educational initiatives to foster personal and social change. Through collaborative projects and partnerships with community organizations, and in traditional school settings, graduates can become agents of change. Opportunities for experiential education begin in your second year and continue throughout the program.

BA Educational Studies (Honours)/BEd: This five-year concurrent degree program integrates theoretical and practical knowledge and includes a unique undergraduate program that focuses on understanding children, childhood and youth. Opportunities for field experiences begin in second year with a required service-learning placement and continue throughout the program.

Students intending to teach at the primary/junior level are not required to select a teachable subject. Successful graduates of each program will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification and Registration.
