Entry requirements

The normal requirement for admission to the master's program is B.A. Honours, with at least high honours standing, in one of the disciplines represented in the Institute. Prospective applicants without such qualifications may be considered for admission if they have both a strong academic record and relevant work experience.

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.
