| 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. | Computer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating. | A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job. |
