What you study	Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Computer Games Management	Business Studies Design Management Studies Marketing	Accounting Business Studies Finance Human Resource Management
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.	Graphic Communications Management teaches you to manage the creative and business sides of visual design projects. You study design principles alongside marketing, business strategy, and media production so you can lead teams that create everything from branding to advertising campaigns. It suits people who want to combine artistic thinking with management responsibility, rather than focusing only on design or only on business.	You study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management — at two Lakehead campuses in Ontario and complete mandatory work terms alongside your courses. This structure differs from a standard business degree by splitting your education between Thunder Bay and Orillia and requiring you to alternate semesters of study with paid work experience. It suits students who want practical industry exposure while earning a degree and are comfortable moving between campuses.
