| 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 business and law together over six years instead of doing them separately. The combined degree lets you take courses in both fields and finish with credentials in commerce and law, rather than choosing one path. It suits people who want to understand both how businesses operate and how legal systems regulate them, and who are considering careers that bridge business strategy, corporate law, or compliance. | 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. | Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field. |
