What it isArchitectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies.You study design across multiple disciplines, blending computer science, visual and product design, and hands-on problem-solving. Unlike a single-discipline design program, this approach lets you explore how technology, creativity, and practical application intersect in real projects. It suits people who want to design solutions but aren't sure whether they lean toward coding, visual work, or engineering, and who learn best by doing.Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
