What it isAn Undeclared Major means you start university without committing to a specific program right away. You explore courses across several fields — including creative writing, drama, fine art, social work, and others — and choose your major later, usually by the end of second year. This suits students who are interested in multiple areas or need time to figure out what fits them best before deciding.You study acting and performance, learning technique, character work, and stagecraft through classes and frequent performances. The BFA is a specialized, more intensive degree focused entirely on theatre and performance, while the BA lets you combine acting with other university subjects. This suits people who want hands-on training in acting and are ready to spend significant time rehearsing and performing.You study how crime happens, why people commit crimes, and how the justice system responds through law, sociology, and social work. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you real experience in courts, police services, or community justice organizations alongside your classroom learning. It suits people curious about crime and the legal system who want both theory and hands-on workplace experience before graduating.
