The Carleton Advantage
At Carleton University, you’ll learn from experts who are researchers and practitioners, and have access to research resources at two universities, federal research agencies and national institutions. You’ll get hands-on experience through co-op placements and internships in organizations that are headquartered in Ottawa.
Field work is a vital component of numerous programs at Carleton, and depending on your area of study you may find yourself working in a variety of exotic locations. Graduate students are currently conducting field research in the Arctic, Caribbean and across Canada, to name a few locations.
