Our program is focused on innovative research geared towards developing new technologies and practices that ensure we have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, clean soil to grow our crops and clean energy to sustain our society. Our goal is to reduce the impact of our society on our environment. Our programs are offered through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Environmental Engineering which allows our graduate students to take courses at both Carleton and the University of Ottawa.

Capital Advantage
Carleton’s location in Ottawa gives our students and researchers access to excellent federal government labs at Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and others. It also provides unique opportunities to collaborate with researchers in these labs; we have several graduate students who conduct their research off-campus in these world-class facilities.
Opportunity for Direct-from-Bachelor PhD Entry
Exceptional applicants may be considered for direct entry into our PhD program, offering the opportunity to begin doctoral studies directly after completing an undergraduate degree, based on academic preparation and research experience.
