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.	An Undeclared Major means you start university without committing to a specific program right away. You explore courses across several fields — including creative writing, drama, fine art, social work, and others — and choose your major later, usually by the end of second year. This suits students who are interested in multiple areas or need time to figure out what fits them best before deciding.	This program examines how gender and sex shape society, history, culture, and power across different fields like sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, it centres gender and feminist perspectives as the main lens for understanding social issues. It suits students interested in understanding inequality and social change, especially those drawn to activism, policy work, or community-based careers.
