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.	This program teaches you to manage technology projects and systems within business settings, combining business strategy with hands-on IT knowledge. Unlike a pure computer science degree, you focus on how organizations actually use and implement technology rather than deep coding or programming. The built-in co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real professional experience before you graduate — a fit for students who want practical experience early and a blend of business and tech rather than specializing in either alone.	This program teaches you how to start and run your own business, covering finance, marketing, operations, and strategy. Unlike a general commerce degree, entrepreneurship focuses specifically on launching ventures and solving business problems from scratch. A co-op option lets you work at companies between semesters, while a French immersion stream teaches courses in French. It suits people who want to understand business fundamentals but are drawn to creating something new rather than managing existing organizations.
