Program Details
We are leaders in scientific discovery, innovation and education. We will prepare you for a promising future in a competitive and evolving world.
World-Class Researchers and Faculty
Our professors are actively involved in groundbreaking research and involve students in their projects. We have strong links with Ottawa-based industries, government labs and departments, as well as teaching and research hospitals. Summer Research Internships allow students to work in a research group headed by a Carleton professor, right from first year.
Connected and Caring Community
Providing equitable, diverse and inclusive learning opportunities underlies everything we do. Our science community works hard to ensure that our students feel they belong and that their mental health and well-being are supported. Our Science Student Success Centre (SSSC) offers science-specific advice, including how to get the most out of your lectures, study more effectively, get involved in research and apply to graduate programs or medical school.
First-Year Seminars
Seminar in Science is a course designed specifically to introduce you to the latest scientific issues and to help you develop communication, analytical thinking and research skills.
Work Experience
Being in the National Capital Region provides you with access to government departments and agencies, national research centres, high-tech companies and more — giving you infinite options for valuable Co-op placements and work opportunities. Located on campus, the National Wildlife Research Centre is the national headquarters for a network of wildlife researchers from around the world. The National Research Council (NRC), the Government of Canada’s premier organization for research and development, has its headquarters in Ottawa.
