Graduate Studies and Research


 

Programs of graduate study, first offered at Carleton in 1954, provide opportunities for advanced study, research and critical scholarship in a number of disciplines. Carleton's libraries, laboratories and other research facilities enable graduate students to perform scholarly work of consistently high calibre, and help to foster a spirit of independent investigation.

The location of Carleton University and the University of Ottawa enables graduate students to take advantage of the research facilities connected with many national institutions and government departments.

Carleton University and the University of Ottawa have developed a number of joint and collaborative programs at the graduate level. The details of these programs are given under the appropriate academic unit in the Graduate Calendar.

Where formal joint programs do not exist, a graduate student may be permitted to follow up to two full courses at the University of Ottawa. Moreover, there are reciprocal arrangements worked out among departments, institutes and schools at both universities to involve students, when it is desirable, in parts of the program of research and studies at the other institution. All interested students should consult the Chair/Director of their department, institute or school, prior to registration, in order to obtain further information on particular departmental conditions of eligibility and procedures.
