Preparing for your Studies

Academics

Courses and Registration

Welcome to Carleton and your Bachelor of Cybersecurity degree program! More information on registration, course selection, electives and prohibited courses, and your academic audit can be found by following the link below:

Minors

In addition to your Major (i.e. Cybersecurity), students in the B.Cyber. program may add a maximum of two Minors to their degree. You may view the Program section of each degree in the Undergraduate Calendar to see the requirements of the specific Minor that you are interested in. Adding a Minor is optional. Students can add a Minor using the Change of Program Elements form on Carleton Central. If you have any questions about adding a Minor to your degree, please consult with an Undergraduate Advisor.

MCS Accelerated Pathway

The MCS Accelerated Pathway allows Bachelor of Cybersecurity students a chance to fast-track their Master’s of Computer Science studies, enabling you to reach your academic and career goals sooner.

Co-op

Co-operative Education combines traditional, in-class education with hands-on experience. As a co-op student, you alternate study terms at Carleton with four, eight, twelve or sixteen month work terms. Co-op work terms allow for the development of key employability skills, exploration of career options and graduation with tangible, workplace experience—giving you a competitive edge in the job market after graduation.

Your first potential co-op admission is in the fall term of your second year, with your first potential work term taking place in the summer term of your second year. You are required to take complete four terms of work to receive the co-op designation. Students generally follow the schedule shown below:

Work-Study Sequence

More information on the co-op program can be found on the Carleton Co-op website, but here are a few links to help get you directed to information on co-op for your bachelor of computer science:

Student Clubs and Societies

Carleton’s extensive network of clubs and societies is another great way to meet new people and pursue your interests outside the classroom. With more than 170 active clubs and societies to choose from, you will certainly find a venue for your academic, social, political or charitable interests. Here is a list of clubs and societies that are related to computer science:

University success is achieved by not only maintaining good study habits and attending class, but also by taking care of yourself. There are many resources and services on campus and in the community to help you better understand, manage and improve your mental health and wellness throughout your degree and beyond.
