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.	You earn two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and a Bachelor of Education. Instead of studying drama for four years and then doing teacher training separately, you complete both programs together in four years, taking drama courses alongside mandatory education and teaching practicum work. This path suits students who want to teach drama or theatre in high schools and want to integrate their subject expertise with education training from the start.	You study acting and performance, learning technique, character work, and stagecraft through classes and frequent performances. The BFA is a specialized, more intensive degree focused entirely on theatre and performance, while the BA lets you combine acting with other university subjects. This suits people who want hands-on training in acting and are ready to spend significant time rehearsing and performing.
