Integrated Science

Home / Programs / Integrated Science

Integrated Science is designed for people who are not only interested in science but also in applying their scientific knowledge in other areas. Integrated Science combines courses in science (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, mathematics and computer science) with a concentration in a second non-science discipline for a well-rounded education.

The program can be fully customized for each student, or there are nine optional concentrations that can be included: Forensic Science, Information Science, Information Technology, Life and Health Sciences, Science and the Arts, Science and Ethics, Science and Policy, Science and Technology and Science Education. The concentration in Life and Health Sciences will be of particular interest to those considering careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine.

Minors in other science and non-science programs can be incorporated into your program. Integrated Science can be taken as an Honours or a General program.

The Integrated Science program at Carleton is great and has been a really positive experience for me. It has provided me with strong background knowledge of the sciences and has let me explore my other areas of interest, such as geography and psychology. I have found the flexibility of the program eye-opening and the courses that I have taken to be truly enjoyable. My professors are extremely passionate about their students’ learning experiences and are always willing to go the extra mile. I feel like this program has prepared me for my future endeavors.
