What you study	General or Integrated Engineering Software Engineering	Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Computer Games Management	Accounting Business Studies Finance Human Resource Management
What it is	You study how to design, build, and test software systems — the programs and applications that run on computers and devices. This program combines hands-on coding and engineering theory, and requires you to do paid work terms with real companies throughout your degree, so you graduate with professional experience alongside your training. It suits people who want to solve problems with code and are ready to balance classroom learning with actual software development jobs.	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 study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management — at two Lakehead campuses in Ontario and complete mandatory work terms alongside your courses. This structure differs from a standard business degree by splitting your education between Thunder Bay and Orillia and requiring you to alternate semesters of study with paid work experience. It suits students who want practical industry exposure while earning a degree and are comfortable moving between campuses.
