What it is	You study how to design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, streetscapes — combining art, ecology, and practical building knowledge. Unlike general design programs, landscape architecture focuses specifically on outdoor environments and includes technical skills in grading, drainage, and site planning. It suits people who want to solve real problems through design and enjoy working both creatively and analytically with land and plants.	This program teaches you how to build theatre productions from the design and technical side — lighting, set design, costumes, sound, and stagecraft — rather than focusing on acting or playwriting. You'll study both the artistic principles of design and the practical skills needed to realize a director's vision on stage. It suits people who are creative and detail-oriented but prefer working behind the scenes to solve problems and bring stories to life physically.	You study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements.
