Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Undeclared Major

Program Description

Experimenting is a key component of learning science at Carleton. In first year, classes will typically have a lecture and a lab or tutorial component. Each lab will take three hours per week, so students who choose three of these lab courses could have nine hours of hands-on experimentation every week.

Labs, tutorials, field courses and seminars are conducted in small classes, resulting in plenty of personalized interactions with professors, lab supervisors and fellow students.

First-year science students are encouraged to enrol in Carleton's unique seminar course, Seminar in Science, designed specifically to introduce students to the latest scientific issues and to help them develop the kind of communication, analytical thinking and research skills needed for science studies and a career.

Many Carleton professors are actively involved in groundbreaking research in their areas of expertise, and students could find themselves working on some of these projects. Carleton faculty have also forged strong links with Ottawa-based industries, government labs and departments, as well as teaching and research hospitals, providing Carleton students with a diverse range of research and employment opportunities.
