Entry requirements

The normal requirement for admission to a master's program is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline with a CGPA of B+. #### Accelerated Pathway The accelerated pathway in the M.A.Sc. and M.Eng. Electrical and Computer Engineering program is a flexible and individualized plan of graduate study for students in their final year of a Carleton B.Eng degree. Students with demonstrated academic excellence and aptitude for research may qualify for this option. Students in their third-year of study in the B.Eng. degree should consult with both the Undergraduate Chair and the Graduate Chair to determine if the accelerated pathway is appropriate for them and to confirm their selection of courses for their final year of undergraduate studies. Accelerated Pathway Requirements At least 0.5 credit in ELEC or SYSC courses, or other approved courses, at the 5000-level with a grade of B+ or higher. Minimum overall CGPA of A-. Students may receive advanced standing with transfer of credit of up to 1.0 credit which can reduce their time to completion.

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.
