What it is	You study mathematics, statistics, and finance together to understand how to measure and manage financial risk in banks, investment firms, and insurance companies. Unlike a straight business degree, this program emphasizes the quantitative and mathematical tools that financial professionals actually use to model markets and predict uncertainty. The co-op option lets you work in the industry while you study. This program suits people who are comfortable with advanced math and want to apply it to real-world financial problems.	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.	Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
