| 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 the human body moves and functions during physical activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general kinesiology program, this applied stream emphasizes practical skills you can use directly in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings. It suits students who want a science degree but prefer hands-on learning over pure theory, especially if you want work experience built into your studies through the co-op option. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You learn biology, nutrition, and sport science through lab work and courses. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings, giving you real experience alongside your degree. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching. |

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.
