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 use data and statistics to solve business problems, combined with core courses in accounting, management, and information systems. The co-op stream builds in paid work terms at companies, letting you apply what you learn in real settings, whereas the regular stream is full-time classes. This suits you if you're comfortable with numbers and want to blend technical skills with business strategy, and especially if you want real workplace experience before graduating.	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.
