What it is	This program teaches you how to plan, run, and improve recreation and leisure services — from community programs to sports facilities to wellness initiatives. The therapeutic recreation stream adds training in how to use activity and recreation as treatment for people recovering from injury, illness, or mental health challenges. Co-op is built in, so you'll alternate between study terms and paid work placements in real recreation and health settings.	You study arts subjects alongside business fundamentals in a joint-major degree. This combines the breadth of humanities and social sciences with business skills like finance, management, and organizational thinking, rather than letting you focus on just one. It suits people who want a flexible foundation for careers that blend analytical and communication skills across diverse fields.	A Business and Arts program combines study in two fields: one from business, accounting, or economics, and one from humanities or social sciences like English, anthropology, or environmental studies. Unlike a single-subject honours degree, you earn one honours diploma by completing substantial coursework in both areas rather than specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want broad knowledge across different disciplines and are curious about how business intersects with culture, society, or the environment.
