OCAD students planning to apply to BEd programs at the intermediate/senior level will require a second teachable to augment their first teachable in Visual Arts. For those interested in fulfilling this requirement in the area of English or Social Science during or following their BFA/BDes studies, the Faculty of Liberal Studies has expanded its course offerings in these areas. Many of these courses will not be offered every semester or even every year, but rather on a rotating basis. The Faculty of Liberal Studies will create a tentative rotating schedule so that students can plan their studies accordingly.
The requirements for a second teachable vary considerably from institution to institution. Therefore, students must check with each BEd program they are interested in for specific requirements. For example, some require three full-year courses (six semester courses, as at OCAD); some only two full-year courses (four semester courses); while some require specific content courses. With this range of requirements in mind, students may select from among the following.

Critical Writing (one of the following)
LBST 1A40: The Essay and the Argument
