What it is	Health Administration teaches you how to run hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. You'll learn business skills like budgeting, planning, and managing staff, combined with enough healthcare knowledge to understand what doctors and nurses actually do. This program suits people who want a career in healthcare but prefer management and operations over direct patient care or medical science.	This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.
