What it is	You 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 business and commerce while also taking significant courses in humanities — literature, history, philosophy, or social sciences — rather than focusing on business alone. This integration means you graduate with both a business foundation and the analytical and communication skills humanities develops, making you different from a straight commerce program. It suits students who want business skills but also value critical thinking across cultures and ideas, and who are comfortable with a broader curriculum.	A BBA teaches you the fundamentals of running businesses and managing organizations: accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, and operations. You study how companies make decisions and solve real-world problems. This program suits students who want a broad business education before specializing, or who aren't sure which business area interests them most yet.
