Application information

Entry requirements

Admission to the Ph.D. Canadian Studies requires a master's degree (or equivalent), with at least high honours standing in Canadian Studies or one of the disciplines represented in the School. Applicants should note, however, that meeting the admission requirement does not guarantee admission to the program. The Ph.D. program in Canadian Studies normally will be undertaken on a full-time basis. In cases of exceptional merit, the School will accept a few candidates for the degree on a part-time basis.

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. Application fee: C$125, non-refundable, paid by credit card and not waived.
