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 how to use radiation safely and effectively to diagnose and treat disease, combining physics, biology, and medical technology. This program includes training in imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans, as well as cancer treatment using radiation. It suits students who want hands-on work in healthcare, are comfortable with science and math, and are drawn to a clinical role rather than pure research.	This program covers the science of how the human body works and how health systems use technology and data. Unlike a pre-med program, it does not guarantee entry into medical school and instead prepares you for careers in health research, data analysis, or public health. It suits students who are strong in science and math but want flexibility to explore health fields beyond clinical practice.
