What you study	Architecture Design	Drama Fine Art
What it is	You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree.	This is a four-year degree focused on training you as an actor and performer for stage, screen, and other venues. You study acting techniques, voice, movement, script analysis, and theatre history alongside practical production work. Unlike a general drama program, this is a direct-entry BFA that commits you to performance-focused training from the start rather than exploring broader theatre studies or design. It suits people who want intensive hands-on training in acting and are ready to audition for a specialized performance stream.
