Program description
Bachelor of Science
Experimenting is a key component of learning science at Carleton. In first year, your classes will typically have a lecture and a lab or tutorial component. Each lab will take three hours per week, so if you choose three of these lab courses you could have nine hours of hands-on experimentation every week.
Our labs, tutorials, field courses and seminars are conducted in small classes, resulting in plenty of personalized interactions with professors, lab supervisors and fellow students.
First-year science students are encouraged to enrol in our unique seminar course, Seminar in Science, designed specifically to introduce you to the latest scientific issues and to help you develop the kind of communication, analytical thinking and research skills you will need for your science studies and your career.
Scholarships & funding
Several scholarship options are available. Please check the university website for more information.
Program delivery

However, to prioritize safety and to remain in line with public health information available at this time, Carleton has made the decision to guarantee the online delivery of all first-year courses for the fall 2020 term.
