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 and build software and computer systems, with options to specialize in game development. The co-op requirement means you complete paid work terms at tech companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before graduation. This program suits students who want hands-on technical training and the chance to build a professional network early in their degree.	Sports Administration teaches you how to run the business side of sports organizations, from budgeting and marketing to facility management and event planning. You'll study both general business skills and sport-specific topics like exercise science and athlete management. This program suits people who love sports but want careers in leadership and operations rather than playing or coaching.
