| What it is | You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation. | This program combines studio art, architectural design, and materials science to explore how buildings and spaces are created and experienced. You'll study drawing, design principles, and the physical properties of construction materials alongside art history and theory. It suits students who want to work creatively with built environments — whether designing buildings, creating installations, or working in architectural practice — rather than pursuing fine art or architecture alone. | You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. | Integrated Media is a program that combines visual art, writing, and digital technology to create work across different media — like games, interactive art, or multimedia storytelling. Unlike programs that focus on one discipline, this one expects you to move between visual design, code, and narrative to solve creative problems. It suits people who want to make things that live across screens and formats, and who think best when they're mixing different creative skills. |
