What it isA Bachelor of Fine Arts focuses on developing your skills in visual art — drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and related media — through studio practice and art history study. Unlike a general arts degree, a BFA is a specialized program where most of your time goes to making and critiquing art rather than surveying broader disciplines. It suits people who want to develop a strong artistic voice and portfolio, whether they're aiming toward a career as a professional artist or exploring art as a serious creative pursuit.This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.
