What it is	Computer Science I is an introductory computer science program where you learn programming, algorithms, and core computational concepts. It differs from some other programs because it includes a mandatory co-op component, giving you paid work experience in tech roles alongside your studies. This program suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about whether computer science matches their strengths before committing to upper-year specializations.	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 fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, and management — with a choice of degree type (BA, BBA, or BCom) depending on how specialized you want to get. The BBA and BCom focus more narrowly on business core skills, while the BA pairs business study with broader arts subjects. You can do a co-op term, working in a real business role while you study. It suits people interested in how organizations work and who want practical experience alongside theory.	You study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, management, and human resources — while earning a degree from both University of Ottawa and a partner institution abroad. The dual degree means you spend time at two universities and graduate with credentials from both, giving you international experience and exposure to different business practices. This suits students who want a business foundation with global perspective and the opportunity to study and work in another country.
