What you study	Architecture Design	Architecture Design	Computer Games Computer Science Design Entrepreneurship
What it is	Architectural Science is the study of how buildings work technically and functionally—covering structure, systems, materials, and design—rather than architecture as pure art. The co-op option lets you work at real firms alongside your studies, giving you paid work experience in the field. This program suits students who want to understand the practical side of building design and who value hands-on learning in an actual workplace.	You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree.	You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.
