What it isYou study how to design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, streetscapes — combining art, ecology, and practical building knowledge. Unlike general design programs, landscape architecture focuses specifically on outdoor environments and includes technical skills in grading, drainage, and site planning. It suits people who want to solve real problems through design and enjoy working both creatively and analytically with land and plants.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.Humanities is the study of human culture, history, ideas, and expression through subjects like history, philosophy, literature, classics, and religious studies. You choose courses across these fields rather than specializing in just one, so you develop a broad understanding of how societies, texts, and beliefs have shaped each other over time. This suits people curious about why humans think and act as they do, who enjoy reading and discussion, and who want flexibility to explore before narrowing down.
