What you study	Education Studies	Cinematics & Photography Fine Art
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 study visual art through two main lenses: cinematics and photography, plus traditional fine arts like painting and sculpture. Unlike a general arts degree, this program is structured specifically around image-making and visual storytelling. It suits people who think in pictures and want to develop strong technical and conceptual skills in how visuals communicate ideas.
