What it is	You study how to design and plan buildings and structures, learning both the creative design side and the technical skills needed to make buildings work safely and function well. This program requires you to do paid work terms at architecture firms throughout your degree, alternating with school semesters, so you graduate with real professional experience. It suits people who want hands-on learning alongside theory and are ready to balance intensive coursework with workplace responsibility.	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 acting, theatre production, and performance, with mandatory work placements built into your degree. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters in the classroom and paid or unpaid terms working in theatres, film sets, media companies, or community arts organizations. This program suits people who want practical experience alongside training in how theatre and drama work as art forms and communication tools.
