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 build computer systems that learn and make decisions on their own, using mathematics, programming, and data analysis. This program pairs computer science fundamentals with a focused specialization in artificial intelligence techniques and applications. A co-op component lets you work terms in industry alongside your studies. It suits people who want hands-on experience applying AI to real problems while completing their degree.	You study core business topics — accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour — alongside specialized management courses that prepare you to lead teams and make strategic decisions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on business training and either prefer to earn while studying or want to test different industries before graduating.
