Career opportunities<br />
A computing major qualifies students for most<br />
entry level positions in the programming <strong>and</strong><br />
information technology fields. Psychology<br />
graduates may seek employment in the areas of<br />
human resources, social work, marketing,<br />
administration <strong>and</strong> research. Psychology<br />
graduates can also do further study in areas of<br />
professional psychology such as clinical,<br />
counselling, organisational <strong>and</strong> health <strong>and</strong> sports<br />
psychology. An interactive multimedia major<br />
qualifies students for most entry level positions in<br />
multimedia development, web page development,<br />
on line publishing for small businesses, <strong>and</strong><br />
desktop publishing.<br />
