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 core business topics — accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour — alongside specialized management courses that prepare you to lead teams and make strategic decisions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on business training and either prefer to earn while studying or want to test different industries before graduating.	You study business management fundamentals including accounting, finance, marketing, and organizational behaviour, with flexibility to specialize in areas like human resources. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, letting you apply what you learn in real settings. This program suits students interested in business careers who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.	You study business management with a focus on human resources — how companies hire, train, develop, and manage their employees. Unlike a general commerce degree, this program specializes in HR practices, labour relations, and organizational behaviour from day one. It suits students interested in understanding workplace dynamics and building careers in recruitment, employee development, or organizational leadership.
