| What it is | This is a one-year English and design foundation program for international students whose English skills need strengthening before entering architecture or design studies. You take intensive English classes alongside introductory courses in architecture, landscape design, and visual design to build both language ability and design thinking. It suits international students who have strong potential but need to reach the English proficiency standard the university requires for direct entry into degree programs. | 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 four-year program teaches you how to manage and implement technology systems within businesses — combining business strategy with information technology skills. Unlike a pure commerce degree, it focuses specifically on how companies use digital tools, data systems, and software to operate effectively. It suits students who want to work in roles that bridge business and IT, such as managing technology projects, analyzing business data, or overseeing digital transformation initiatives. |
