What it is	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make choices about money, resources, and trade. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want to understand how economies work and prefer learning through a mix of theory and hands-on practice.	This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory.	You earn a BA in Film Studies while also completing a separate diploma through Vancouver Film School. The diploma focuses on hands-on technical skills in animation, visual effects, and cinematography that complement the theory and history you study in the university degree. This suits students who want both the critical thinking and broad knowledge of a university degree alongside practical industry training in filmmaking technology.
