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 computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production.You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.This program trains you to teach science at the junior and intermediate levels (grades 7–10) while earning a bachelor's degree. You study science subjects like chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics alongside educational theory and classroom practice. It combines your science degree with teacher certification, so you graduate ready to apply for a teaching license, unlike a regular science degree that would require separate teacher training afterward.
