What it is	This program combines the study of media, communication, and information technology — learning how messages are created, shared, and understood across digital and traditional platforms alongside practical IT skills. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work placements in media, tech, or communications companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in how technology shapes storytelling and public conversation, who want hands-on workplace experience before graduating.	You study political science and education together in one four-year degree, earning both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education at the same time. This means you take courses in politics and social policy alongside education theory and teaching methods, preparing you to teach social studies or civics while deepening your understanding of political systems. It suits people who want to enter teaching but also want strong grounding in a subject area beyond just pedagogy.	This program trains you to teach high school while earning two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in environmental and urban change. Unlike a regular education degree, you study both teaching methods and a focused subject combining environmental science, geography, planning, and politics. It suits students who want to specialize in environmental or urban issues and pass that knowledge to students in a classroom.
