Thinking of Grad School? Think Carleton. We are located in one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. As the capital of Canada, Ottawa offers easy access to federal government resources, embassies, non-profit organizations as well as a robust high tech industry.

Diverse Programs

We have more than 100 programs, pathways and specializations to choose from. Many of our programs rely on a collaborative approach which provides you with additional context and contacts outside of your main focus area.

Faculty Expertise

Our faculty are leading experts in their fields. Check the program website, which you are interested in, to find out more about them.

Exceptional Professional Development

We have one of the most, if not THE most comprehensive professional development programs for graduate students in Canada. You can find out the details on our Grad PD website.

Supportive Environment

Carleton is known as a caring community. We work hard to foster a supportive environment that responds to your needs as soon as possible. There are numerous resources to help you succeed as a graduate student. Carleton prioritizes promoting research conducted by our graduate students by writing stories and organizing training and coaching sessions to enhance students’ chances of winning research competitions such as the Three Minute Thesis (3MT). Check out our Awards of Distinction page which features our grad students who have won prestigious awards.
