What it is	Nuclear engineering teaches you how to design, build, and safely operate nuclear reactors and systems that produce power or are used in medicine and industry. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at nuclear facilities or related companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. The engineering and management version adds business and organizational skills alongside the technical training. This program suits students who want hands-on engineering work combined with workplace learning and have strong math and science foundations.	This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.
