Carleton University, Canada’s Capital University, is a future-oriented research and teaching institution. Our academic vision fuses disciplinary excellence with interdisciplinary exploration, and hands-on experience with theoretical insight, creating a learning atmosphere that is anything but textbook.

Carleton provides high-quality post-secondary education to over 25,000 full- and part-time students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and its professors are renowned nationally and internationally for their scholarship and research. The university’s location in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, and its subsequent proximity to a wealth of resources enhances the student experience. Academic programs that instill both skills and knowledge help prepare Carleton students to become integral parts of their local communities, the workforce and the world.

From its very beginnings in 1942, Carleton has welcomed the world, explored it in many fields of study and embraced the obligations of national and international citizenship. Curiosity, open-minded inquiry, ingenuity, entrepreneurship and a rigorous commitment to scholarship of the highest calibre—these are the qualities that Carleton fosters and celebrates.

cApITAl lOcATION

At Carleton, we have the distinct advantage of being situated in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, which offers our students unique opportunities. Apart from its national status, Ottawa is renowned, both at home and abroad, for its natural beauty and quality of life.

Although known primarily as the seat of Canada’s federal government, Ottawa is so much more. It is home to over 130 embassies, high commissions and consulates, numerous national museums and organizations, a large

percentage of Canada’s major medical, clinical and life sciences research centres and over 1,900 companies involved in the technology industry. The city is also one of the most picturesque capitals in the world, with its neighbourhood parks and tranquil

green spaces, waterways that wind through the city, and historical and architectural landmarks scattered throughout the area. Consistently ranked as one of Canada’s most livable and safe cities, Ottawa is part big city, part small town.

opportunities for studentsFor students who choose to study here, Ottawa offers invaluable research facilities and work opportunities at the numerous agencies, institutions and businesses located in the city. Ottawa also plays host to many visiting dignitaries, authors, artists, festivals and sports events, allowing students access to events not always available elsewhere.

You can take advantage of the following resources:

nLibrary and Archives Canada, which houses millions of books, documents, records and other media;

n the National Gallery of Canada, which showcases the works of Canadian as well as foreign artists through its permanent collection or visiting exhibits;

nnational museums, including the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian

Museum of Nature, the Canadian War Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum;

n the House of Commons and Senate, both of which can provide part-time work to students through their Page programs or Parliamentary Guide program (see page 38); and

n the National Arts Centre, a popular venue for the performing arts.

bilingual communityCarleton’s location in a multicultural and bilingual city provides an additional benefit to Carleton students who wish to maintain or improve their French language skills. Here you will be able to hear French spoken in the streets, the shops, the media and on the stage. You can also take a variety of courses at Carleton in French language, linguistics and culture.

carleton.ca/academics

At Carleton we encourage innovation and interdisciplinarity, believing that when students and faculty from different fields are able to engage with each other and share ideas and methods, real change is possible. Here, we have grouped a selection of our programs, as well as a sampling of our various projects and initiatives, under our four interdisciplinary themes of focus: sustainability and the environment, global identities and globalization, health, and new digital media.

Programs relating to sustainabilityand the environment include:

sUsTAINABIlITY ANd THE ENvIrONmENTThe relationship between ourselves and our natural environment has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. A number of Carleton’s programs focus not only on the study of this relationship, but on creating solutions to the many environmental problems the world faces. Also, as an institution, we encourage sustainability initiatives and strive to implement the principles of sustainability on campus.

the village greenA number of carleton students and faculty have been working since may 2009 on an interdisciplinary project to help Sonja bata turn the historic factory-village of batawa into a model sustainable village. in Winter 2011, thirty-one industrial design students spent a term devising new ideas for various parts of the village, including a community garden, forest trail system and splash pad for children. in addition, Architecture professor Stephen Fai is leading a team that, with the help of the carleton immersive media Studio (cimS), has created a 3-d visualization of the timeline of the village since its beginnings (see screenshot above)—a project that will help decide the path for batawa’s future.

GlOBAl IdENTITIEs ANd GlOBAlIzATIONNational boundaries in our world have become blurred, due in part to the profound effects of economic and technological globalization. As a result, the way we construct our individual identities has become increasingly complex, raising some important questions. If we are global citizens, where is our home, and where do we belong? Can people have multiple or hybrid cultural identities? Will globalization foster diversity or encourage sameness?

These questions—and others like them—are addressed at Carleton through our programs, events and affiliations.

Voicing IdentityStudents in the “I am Canadian (or am I)?” ArtsOne cluster, along with three Carleton professors, organized a slam poetry event on the theme of Canadian and Aboriginal history, culture and identity. As part of their cluster activities, students researched slam poetry and participated in the promotion of the event. One of the performers, Chris Tse, is a recent Carleton Journalism graduate (see page 33).

carleton University continues to build significant connections with Aboriginal cultures, traditions and worldviews on campus. on January 9, 2012, the creation of a new Aboriginal centre was announced during the celebratory kick-off to Aboriginal Awareness month. in november 2011, the university announced the adoption of an Aboriginal co-ordinated Strategy. this strategy sets out to establish carleton as a prominent centre for Aboriginal learning and research.

Programs relating to global identities and globalization include:

African StudiesAfrica is perhaps the most culturally and geographically diverse continent on earth. Current struggles with poverty, HIV/AIDS, war and highly unequal trading relationships with wealthy countries pose enormous challenges within many parts of Africa and dominate outside perceptions of the continent. At the same time, the continent has produced some world-renowned leaders such as Nobel prize winners Nelson Mandela, Wole Soyinka and Wangari Maathai.

The African Studies program offers you an opportunity to study the histories, cultures and cultural productions, geographies, politics and economics of this fascinating continent, allowing you to also learn more about the world given Africa’s long and complicated involvement in transcontinental processes such as the slave trade, colonialism and international trade. Students can pursue a Combined Honours program or a minor in African Studies.

Students in the Honours program can benefit from a work placement opportunity, a mentorship program and the chance to study in Africa through our African Studies Abroad course (in Burkina Faso in May 2012 and in Botswana in May 2013) or by doing their third year at one of the African universities with which Carleton has exchange agreements.

BAcHElOr Of HUmANITIEs

program of studyThe Bachelor of Humanities program begins with the study of the religious cultures of ancient China, India, Israel and Greece. Over the course of the program, students trace the development of Western culture through Greek and medieval philosophy, the literature and art of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and the politics, history and philosophy of the contemporary world.

Graduates of the program learn to analyze complex texts and ideas, and they work closely with faculty in acquiring excellent research and writing skills. The Bachelor of Humanities helps students achieve their future goals by organizing career-related events throughout the year.

Students may choose one of four degree programs.

The Bachelor of Humanities (Honours) is the most comprehensive and guided version of the degree. The Bachelor of Humanities (Honours) with a Study Year Abroad is designed for Honours students who wish to earn credits toward their degree overseas. The Bachelor of Humanities with a Combined Honours or a minor allows students to add a specialization in a particular discipline to their interdisciplinary Humanities degree. Students in this degree program may also study abroad in their third year. The Humanities and Biology program is designed for students intending to apply to medical school upon graduation. This degree program is very intensive, as students must complete a rigorous program in Humanities and in science.

core SeminarsAt the heart of the program are four core seminars, one for each year of the program. Each seminar focuses on a different discipline—religion, philosophy, literature and politics—and on a different time period, from the ancient world to the present day. Each core seminar is taught by two professors, includes small discussion groups, and is restricted to Humanities students. The small size of the Humanities program means that the students form a close-knit community, and are known personally by their professors.

experience enhances your education The College of the Humanities runs an extensive cultural program, with musical evenings, dramatic readings, and visits to performances at the National Arts Centre. Students may take advantage of the College’s mentorship program, in which members of Ottawa’s community—civil servants, poets, artists, diplomats, lawyers, academics and others—act as counsellors and friends. Many Humanities students spend their third year studying in Europe, experiencing international culture first hand, and are able to transfer their credits earned abroad into their Humanities degree.

program of studyCarleton’s unique, internationally respected Industrial Design (ID) program, offered through the School of Industrial Design, blends a design studio component with applied sciences, such as math and physics, and social sciences, such as psychology and business. The program focuses on process—from concept and design through to manufacturing and the everyday use of the product.

There is also an emphasis on the context and social purpose of design.

In the first year of the program, you will take courses in math, psychology, economics and physics. Other courses will introduce you to the profession, help you evaluate products according to the principles of design and manufacturing and teach you basic design methods and techniques. As you move through the program, you will move progressively

from academic studies to more intensive design studio sessions. You will work on drawings, models, mock-ups and simulated products, as well as learn about materials, marketing, environmental issues, users’ needs and user testing.

In the final year of the program, you will participate in the School’s annual graduation exhibition, which is well attended by visitors and industry employers.

Industrial designers are responsible for the concept, the design and the details that are worked out before the manufacturing process of any product can begin. They work behind the scenes to determine the features, appearance, materials and ergonomics of the many products—from toasters to cell phones—that we use every day.

psychologyPsychologists study the mechanisms that underlie our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. They examine a diverse range of topics, such as how the brain functions, how we learn, how we interact with others, and how we can promote healthy development and wellness. This is accomplished by conducting research so that the knowledge gained can help us to better understand the human mind, enhance well-being and performance, and generate additional research questions.

At Carleton, you will explore psychology’s major areas including applied, cognitive, developmental, forensic, health, personality and social psychology. Specialized topics include abnormal behaviour, perception, criminal behaviour, and social and cognitive development.

The insights you will gain from studying psychology will serve you throughout your life, in virtually any career. Psychology is offered as a Bachelor of Science (Honours) program, and as Bachelor of Arts Honours, General and Combined Honours programs. A minor in Psychology is also available.

Social Work student Dzifa Dododza (BSW/10) spent a field placement at The Well/La Source, a drop-in centre for women and women with children. “My duties included supporting the women—interacting with them, handing out supplies and advocating on their behalf.”

Vision, energy and a commitment to social justice and social action—these are the qualities that will be demanded of you as one of today’s social workers. As a graduate of Carleton’s School of Social Work, you will be well prepared to meet the challenges of this profession.

program of studyCarleton’s Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) is a four-year Honours degree that places strong emphasis on the interactions between people and their environments, and looks at innovative ways of helping individuals, families and communities cope with a rapidly changing world. Our program is geared towards those who enjoy working with diverse populations and have strong interests in promoting social justice. The program will

equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for working sensitively with both individuals and groups and for critically analyzing social policies and programs that affect the lives of people in our society.

FOUR-YEAR PROGRAMThe BSW program combines a liberal arts education with a professional social work education. In first year, you will take a range of courses outside of social work and one main social work course which

introduces you to the profession of social work and the programs and policies that comprise the welfare state.

In second year, you will be introduced to the basic theoretical frameworks that underlie social work. This will include ideas and concepts from the social sciences, including sociology, psychology, political science and economics, with an emphasis placed on understanding the impact of race, gender and class on people’s lives. In addition, you

Learn outside the classroom Social Work professor Martha Wiebe (on right) works closely with students, matching them to the right placement and monitoring their progress while in the field. She also meets with on-site supervisors such as Darlene Crew (on left) from The Well/La Source. “Field placements are a fundamental component of the Social Work program,” says Wiebe. “Placements are an educational experience for our students, and can often be very transformative. When a student graduates from the program, they are ready to enter the profession.”

will explore the history and theories of the welfare state and cover topics such as the nature of the labour market, the family, the voluntary sector and research methodology.

In third year, you will study how the welfare state is administered and managed, you will learn about working in community and human service organizations, and you will have the opportunity to hone your analytic and interpersonal skills. Your field practicums (or placements) allow you to put theory into practice and are offered in such settings as: n hospitals n child protection services n community health or crisis

centres n sheltersn drop-in centres for homeless

peoplen provincial, federal, and

municipal government departments

n a range of international and non-governmental organizations

In fourth year, you will have more opportunities to practise social work as you complete another field practicum. After you have completed your fourth-year practicum, the Honours Integrative Seminar provides you further opportunity to synthesize theory with practice and to enhance your skills in critical self-evaluation.

Carleton’s Social Work program is accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education, and BSW graduates can work in any province or territory in Canada.

A pioneer in social workNationally and internationally renowned for its commitment to social justice, equality and respect for all peoples in society, the School of Social Work is a pioneer of the “structural approach” to social work.

As a student of this approach, you will learn that the society in which we live is made up of diverse groups of people with varying degrees of access to economic and political power. At the School of Social Work, we believe that the inequalities based on class, race, sex, sexual orientation, disability or age, among others, are the result of economic, political and ideological structures—not individual failings. For example, in an analysis of poverty, we would examine the underlying social and economic issues that contribute to poverty rather than focusing on any perceived shortcomings of an individual. We believe that Carleton-educated social work practitioners are able to effectively work for social

justice because they recognize the fundamental impact that social structures have on people.

As a graduate with a Bachelor of Social Work you would be eligible to join the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and receive the designation of Registered Social Worker.

A strong student societyThe School is a close-knit community and students are actively involved in the activities of the School. The BSW Student Society is a great support network that arranges many events, such as workshops and seminars, to encourage discussion and awareness of social issues as well as to provide a forum for raising questions related to social work. It also gives students an opportunity to interact and have fun.

Students in the Social Work program come from across Canada and abroad. This multicultural mix not only allows students and faculty to learn from each other but also prepares students for the diverse communities in which they will work.

community spiritThe School of Social Work is an integral part of the social welfare community in Ottawa and our professors enjoy strong, collegial relations with a wide range of individuals and community health centres and organizations, such as War Child Canada and the Social Planning Council of Ottawa.

the capital advantageStudying in the nation’s capital gives our students tremendous off-campus learning opportunities.

n For students interested in social policy, the Canadian parliament and numerous think tanks are located in Ottawa, including the Caledon Institute of Social Policy and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

n The main office of Canada Without Poverty (formerly the National Anti-Poverty Organization) is also located in Ottawa.

n The Canadian Council on Social Development is located in Ottawa, as are offices of the Canadian Association of Social Workers and the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (formerly the Canadian Association of Schools of Social Work).

n The headquarters of unions and a number of non-governmental organizations (Oxfam, CUSO International, North-South Institute) provide a broad range of learning opportunities for our students.

The majority of our undergraduate programs include co-operative education (co-op) or work-study opportunities, which allow you to take theoretical concepts from the classroom and apply them to solving real-world problems in your field of study.

These work opportunities allow you to develop the tangible skills that employers are looking for. The strong industry and government connections that we have built over the years have helped us to create many valuable work opportunities for our students. We also are fortunate to work with employers who are happy to come to our campus to offer students career advice and, for some, employment when they graduate.

co-operative educationCarleton’s co-op program is diverse and flexible. Co-op options are available in over 100 programs, streams and concentrations at the undergraduate level and in a select group of programs at the graduate level. Choosing to participate in the co-op option in your program means you will alternate your periods of study

with four, eight, 12 or 16-month work terms with employers in your field. Typically, you will take an additional year of study to complete all academic and co-op program requirements, develop your work skills and acquire the relevant industry experience. As a partial contribution to offset some of the overall program costs, students participating in co-op pay a co-op program fee. The total program fee varies from

CARLETON’S CO-OP PROGRAMS

Carleton University’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Ottawa Aviation Services (OAS) and B-Con Engineering (B-Con) have joined forces to create an exciting new co-op program. Every year, 15 qualifying Carleton engineering students (such as Aerospace Engineering students Jath Thiyagalingam and Indira Mukasheva, pictured above) have the opportunity to obtain either a commercial pilot’s license or a private pilot’s license.

student to student, depending on the number of work terms they participate in. However, co-op is a paid work opportunity.

Students interested in the co-op program have many resources available to them. Our co-op team will guide you through the co-op process from the time you apply to the time you finish your work terms. Co-op staff and faculty advisors are available to provide guidance and mentorship on the experiential learning process.

COOP 1000, the required preparatory course, outlines the co-op program’s structure, regulations and expectations for participation. Course material will cover resumé and cover-letter writing, interview preparation, workplace safety and professional ethics, among other topics. This course also provides students with the opportunity to network with and learn from industry professionals in their field of study.

Admission to co-opIf the program you are interested in has a co-op option, you may apply for it at the same time as you are applying to the program. Your letter of admission will indicate if you have also been accepted into co-op. If you are not admitted to the co-op option of your degree upon entry to the program, you may also apply for admission by the end of your first year of study. Deadlines may vary, depending on the degree program. To be eligible, you must meet Carleton University’s English language requirements. Students admitted to Carleton based on CAEL, IELTS or TOEFL assessments and who are required to take an ESL course must take and pass the Oral Proficiency in English in Communicative Settings (OPECS) test before admission to the co-op program can be confirmed. A minimum score of 5.0 must be attained.

career developmentCo-op and Career Services has professionally trained staff to help students gather information on career possibilities and develop the skills and understanding to succeed in the job market. Numerous on-campus events give students the chance to engage in meaningful job search and networking opportunities with industry employers.

In the past year, students have had the opportunity to take advantage of the following services:

n access to a variety of job postings on myCareer, our online job search system that lists part-time and full-time jobs, on-campus employment, volunteer and internship opportunities, and more;

n an extensive offering of engaging employment workshops (including online workshops);

n year-round employment advising sessions available by appointment or drop-in;

n information sessions and panel discussions with key industry employers; and

n three Career Fairs and a Graduate Options Fair.

THE rEsIdENcE EXpErIENcE

If you want to experience university life as a member of a vibrant, close-knit community, consider living in residence. You will love living minutes away from your classes, the Library, athletics and a large dining hall.

For many students, choosing to live on campus is one of the best decisions they make. Last year, over 3,300 students chose to live in one of our residence buildings. Demand for residence continues to grow and our newest residence opened in September 2011.

In residence, you will have the opportunity to meet people from around the world and make friendships that last a lifetime. You will be supported by a network of Residence Life staff who are there to help make sure you have a rewarding time.

First-year guaranteeAt Carleton, a place in residence is guaranteed to all secondary school and CEGEP students entering first-year studies in the fall, provided they receive an offer of admission on or before May 17, 2013. You have to pay the deposit and accept the residence offer online by the deadline on the Housing website to confirm your space. If you do not qualify for a guaranteed space in residence, you can still apply. A lottery draw is used for all other residence applications.carleton.ca/housing/residence-application-procedures

unique living experience—that residence offers, you will be glad that you chose to make residence your home away from home.

TWO LIVING STYLESOur residences offer two types of rooms—traditional or suite-style rooms. The majority of our rooms for first-year students are traditional double rooms, with shared washroom facilities. A limited number of single rooms are available for first-year students. The suite style provides four-person single-gender suites (either two doubles or four singles) with a shared common area, washroom facility and small food preparation area (with fridge and microwave).

Ravens win!Men’s Basketball: It was a season of perfection for the Ravens. They made history in 2011-12, going 34-0 against CIS competition en route to capturing their eighth W.P. McGee Trophy as national champs. It was the second straight national title for the Ravens, who have won eight banners in a span of only 10 years. They are now tied for first with the Victoria Vikes on the all-time list for most W.P. McGee Trophy wins.

Men’s Water Polo: The Ravens men’s water polo team knocked off the three-time defending champion Toronto Varsity Blues in the OUA final to capture the program’s second championship. The Ravens last won in 2007-08 and have been the only team to win the title other than the Varsity Blues since 2004-05.

Women’s Fencing: The Ravens brought home the Kay Aoyama Trophy in 2011-12, capturing the third OUA title in the fencing program’s history. They reached the podium in all three group events, winning silver in epee and bronze in both foil and sabre.

coming soonThe future looks bright for Carleton Athletics. We have a number of things to look forward to in the coming years:

New Fitness Centre—In February 2012, Carleton students voted in favour of an athletics fee increase that will give them access to a new 11,000 square-foot fitness centre and new equipment. Construction is expected to be complete in Spring 2013.

Football Reborn—Ravens varsity football is returning to Carleton in Fall 2013. Planning is underway for both the design and construction of new football facilities and stadium upgrades on campus.

CIS Final 8—The men’s basketball national championship tournament returns to Scotiabank Place in 2013 and 2014, after a two-year hiatus, when the host Carleton Ravens look to break the all-time title record.
