| What it is | 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. | This program trains you to become a registered nurse with the additional legal right to prescribe certain medications. Unlike a standard nursing degree, it includes specialized coursework in pharmacology and clinical decision-making that prepares you to diagnose and treat independently in specific practice settings. It suits people who want hands-on patient care combined with expanded clinical authority and the ability to manage medication decisions. | Actuarial Science is the study of risk and uncertainty using mathematics, statistics, and business analysis to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other organizations make financial decisions. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, this program focuses on applied problem-solving for real-world financial scenarios. The co-op option lets you work in the field while studying, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. This program suits people who enjoy mathematics and statistics, think logically about complex problems, and want a career with strong technical foundations and professional prospects. | You study pure and applied mathematics, with courses ranging from algebra and calculus to artificial intelligence and data analysis. The co-op option means you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at companies or organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want strong mathematical foundations and are willing to structure their degree around multiple internships. |
