What it isYou study how to build computer systems that learn and make decisions on their own, using mathematics, programming, and data analysis. This program pairs computer science fundamentals with a focused specialization in artificial intelligence techniques and applications. A co-op component lets you work terms in industry alongside your studies. It suits people who want hands-on experience applying AI to real problems while completing their degree.Computer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating.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 business decision-making using data analysis and technology. You study management, information systems, and quantitative methods to solve real problems in organizations. It suits people who want to work in business but prefer working with numbers, systems, and analytics rather than general management or accounting alone.
