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.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.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 learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.
