What it is	You study computer science — programming, algorithms, data structures, software design, and related computing theory — on a schedule that lets you work or manage other commitments at the same time. Part-time means you take fewer courses per term and spread your degree over a longer period than full-time students. This suits people who need to balance education with work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.	This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production.	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.
