| What it is | Sports Administration teaches you how to run the business side of sports organizations, from budgeting and marketing to facility management and event planning. You'll study both general business skills and sport-specific topics like exercise science and athlete management. This program suits people who love sports but want careers in leadership and operations rather than playing or coaching. | You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. | You study core business topics — accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour — alongside specialized management courses that prepare you to lead teams and make strategic decisions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on business training and either prefer to earn while studying or want to test different industries before graduating. | You study an arts or media subject like drama, creative writing, fine art, or music while simultaneously completing teacher training. Unlike a regular arts degree followed by separate teacher certification, you earn both your subject degree and your teaching credential in one integrated program. This suits people who know they want to teach their artistic passion and want to combine the two paths from the start. |
