| What it is | You study how education works — teaching methods, learning science, school systems, and the social side of how people learn — rather than training to teach in a classroom. This program includes co-op work terms where you gain real experience in schools and education settings alongside your coursework. It suits students curious about education as a field of study who want hands-on experience before deciding whether to pursue teaching, educational leadership, or other education-related careers. | This program combines teacher training with study of human movement, exercise, and sports science. Unlike a regular education degree, you learn both how to teach and the science of how bodies move and respond to physical activity. It suits students who want to teach physical education or health in secondary school and are interested in the biology and mechanics behind fitness and sport. | You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. | This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one. The co-op option lets you work in communications or tech roles while you study, which suits people who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in choosing which communication field interests them most. |
