What it isYou 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.This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.A Bachelor of Arts and Sciences lets you combine study in both humanities and natural sciences within one degree. Unlike most programs that require you to choose either arts or sciences, this one lets you take courses across both — for instance, pairing creative writing with chemistry, or anthropology with animal science. It suits people who are curious across multiple disciplines and want flexibility rather than specializing narrowly from the start.This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.

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.
