What it isElectrical Engineering (Co-op) teaches you to design, build, and troubleshoot electrical systems and devices, from power generation to electronics and communications. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at engineering companies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. The Engineering & Management stream adds business and management courses if you want to lead technical teams or projects later. This program suits students comfortable with mathematics and physics who want hands-on experience in industry while studying.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 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 lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
