What it isYou study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.This program teaches you business fundamentals with a focus on managing operations and commerce across different countries. Unlike a general commerce degree, international management emphasizes global trade, cross-cultural business practices, and how companies work in multiple markets. It suits people interested in business careers with a global outlook, and you can choose a co-op stream to gain paid work experience alongside your studies.You study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing.Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
