Application information

Entry requirements

The minimum requirement for admission to the master's program is a B.A. Honours degree (or the equivalent) in Philosophy, with at least B+ standing (or the equivalent). Students who have not successfully completed an introductory logic course in philosophy (equivalent to Carleton’s PHIL 2001 ) at the time of their application will be required to complete PHIL 2001 (or an equivalent) successfully prior to registration or as part of their first year of study. If required, completion of a logic course is extra to the degree requirements. Qualifying-year and M.A. applicants from an institution other than Carleton University must submit two papers.

Graduate programmes normally admit to the fall (September) term; some programmes also consider applicants for the winter (January) or summer (May) terms.

Apply online through Carleton360. Applications for most programmes for the upcoming Fall, Winter and Summer terms open on 1 June. Most programmes have two deadlines per term: the first for guaranteed consideration of admission and funding, the second if space and funds remain; deadlines vary by programme and may be as early as 9 months before start. Application fee: C$125 (C$175 for the MBA), non-refundable, paid by credit card and not waived.
