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.	You study how to design, build, and produce video games and interactive digital media. This program combines computer programming and game design with business and media skills, so you learn both the technical side and the creative direction needed to develop games professionally. It suits people who want to work in game studios or media companies and enjoy problem-solving through coding as much as visual storytelling.	You study how organizations communicate with audiences through writing, media, and strategic messaging, blending business fundamentals with communication theory and practice. This program includes mandatory work terms alongside your classes, so you alternate between campus and paid jobs in communications roles. It suits people who want to work in corporate communications, marketing, public relations, or media while gaining real workplace experience.	You earn a teaching degree while specializing in sports administration, preparing you to teach junior and intermediate students (grades 4–10) and manage school or community sports programs. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds business and sports science courses so you graduate qualified to teach and equipped with skills in program planning, budgeting, and athletic management. It suits students who want a teaching career but also care about sports leadership and see themselves running school teams or athletic initiatives.
