| 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 how to collect, analyze, and interpret geographic information using computers and data science tools — combining mapping technology, environmental science, and statistics. Unlike a pure geography or engineering program, this degree integrates spatial data analysis across multiple fields, preparing you to solve real-world problems in urban planning, climate research, or resource management. It suits people who want technical skills with a geographic or environmental focus and benefit from the co-op option to work in the field while studying. |

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.
