What you study	Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Computer Games Management	Computer Science Software Engineering
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.	A BComp General program teaches you the core theory and practice of building software and computer systems. Unlike specialized streams, this version lets you choose your own focus area — whether that's artificial intelligence, games, web development, or something else — rather than following a set path. It suits students who want solid computer science foundations and the freedom to explore different applications before committing to a specific specialization.

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.
