| 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. | 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. | This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity, with hands-on study of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, the applied stream emphasizes practical work in fitness, rehabilitation, and sport settings rather than pure research. It suits students interested in careers helping athletes and active people stay healthy, whether through coaching, fitness management, or injury prevention. |

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.
