| What it is | You study the history, meaning, and cultural context of visual art — painting, sculpture, photography, film, and other forms — across different time periods and cultures. Unlike a studio art program where you make art yourself, this is focused on analyzing, writing about, and understanding why artists created what they did. It suits students who are curious about art and culture but prefer research and interpretation to hands-on making. | You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree. | You study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements. |
