What it is	You earn a BA in Film Studies while also completing a separate diploma through Vancouver Film School. The diploma focuses on hands-on technical skills in animation, visual effects, and cinematography that complement the theory and history you study in the university degree. This suits students who want both the critical thinking and broad knowledge of a university degree alongside practical industry training in filmmaking technology.	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.	You study drama, fine art, and music together, exploring creative expression across all three disciplines rather than choosing one. This program combines artistic training with a focus on how creative practices can support mental health and wellbeing in communities. It suits people who want to make art their path but also care about its impact on people and society.
