| What it is | You study how to manage technology within business organizations — combining business strategy, IT systems, and hands-on management skills. Unlike a pure computer science or business degree, this program focuses specifically on the intersection: how companies implement and lead technology projects. It suits people who want to work in tech-related roles but prefer understanding the business and people side over deep programming. | 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 how to design, build, and produce video games and interactive digital media. This program combines computer programming and game design with business and media skills, so you learn both the technical side and the creative direction needed to develop games professionally. It suits people who want to work in game studios or media companies and enjoy problem-solving through coding as much as visual storytelling. | This program teaches you to manage technology projects and systems within business settings, combining business strategy with hands-on IT knowledge. Unlike a pure computer science degree, you focus on how organizations actually use and implement technology rather than deep coding or programming. The built-in co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real professional experience before you graduate — a fit for students who want practical experience early and a blend of business and tech rather than specializing in either alone. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
