Both the Bachelor of Arts (Art) or a Bachelor of Fine Arts – Art combined with a Bachelor of Education programs are 5-year combined degrees with K-12 experience through the Faculty of Education. Choosing between the two programs is dependent on the amount of art courses you would like to have in your major. The Bachelor of Fine Arts - Art/Bachelor of Education stream offers a more focused fine arts approach that allows you to build expertise in the art field, and enables you to take the reins of secondary-level art education. Students who are interested in teaching elementary school are encouraged to pursue the Bachelor of Arts (Art)/Bachelor of Education degree. The flexibility of this stream will allow students to gain a diversified set of qualifications which better meets the needs of multi-subject teaching common in elementary schools.
