| 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. | Artificial Intelligence is the study of how to design computer systems that can learn, make decisions, and solve problems with minimal human instruction. This program embeds four paid work terms throughout your degree, alternating with school terms, so you gain industry experience while learning theory. It suits students who want hands-on experience alongside rigorous training in machine learning, data analysis, and intelligent systems, and who are ready to balance classroom study with workplace responsibilities. | You study a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about. | This program combines arts courses — drawn from fields like English, history, economics, and creative writing — with business studies to prepare you for careers that value both analytical and communication skills. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements at real companies, giving you experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broader education than straight business but need practical skills for the job market. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
