What it isYou 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 acting and performance, learning technique, character work, and stagecraft through classes and frequent performances. The BFA is a specialized, more intensive degree focused entirely on theatre and performance, while the BA lets you combine acting with other university subjects. This suits people who want hands-on training in acting and are ready to spend significant time rehearsing and performing.A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one.
