What it is	You study the history, literature, philosophy, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome through their own texts and artifacts. This is a focused humanities program centred on these two civilizations rather than a broad survey of ancient world cultures. It suits students who enjoy reading classical texts, understanding how ancient societies shaped Western thought, and are comfortable with language study or historical analysis.	You study the creative and business sides of art, film, design, and performance. This program combines hands-on work in fields like photography, animation, drama, and dance with classes in marketing and media studies, so you're not just making art — you're learning how to manage projects and reach audiences. It suits people who want careers in creative industries but also need to understand budgets, promotion, and how to run cultural organizations.	You study the history of visual art and design, learning to analyze images, objects, and cultural movements across time periods and societies. This differs from a studio art program because you focus on understanding and interpreting art rather than creating it yourself. It suits people who want to think critically about visual culture and understand how art reflects and shapes society.
