What you study	Media and Communication Studies	Drama Fine Art
What it is	You study how organizations communicate with the public through traditional media, social platforms, and strategic messaging. This program emphasizes practical skills in digital content creation and reputation management alongside theory. Co-op is optional, letting you work terms at communications firms or in-house media departments alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to blend writing, digital strategy, and audience analysis rather than pursue journalism alone.	This is a four-year degree focused on training you as an actor and performer for stage, screen, and other venues. You study acting techniques, voice, movement, script analysis, and theatre history alongside practical production work. Unlike a general drama program, this is a direct-entry BFA that commits you to performance-focused training from the start rather than exploring broader theatre studies or design. It suits people who want intensive hands-on training in acting and are ready to audition for a specialized performance stream.
