In fact, there\u2019s a record number of new graduate offerings, including one of just five PhD programs in Architecture offered in North America, and a diverse set of new programs for all student levels that showcase the university\u2019s strengths in engineering, sustainability, computer science, health sciences, languages and commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Carleton is a university that has passion for co-operation across faculties and disciplines as we continue our long history in developing interdisciplinary programs like International Affairs and Public Policy,&#8221; said John Shepherd, dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This gives us an advantage in developing programs that truly help address world problems by teaching students who will become well-versed in social and cultural complexities, as well as political discourse, business, science and engineering.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new programs, dispersed among all faculties of the university, will give students valuable practical skills. The Human-Computer Interaction masters-level program, for example, affords students an opportunity for true multidisciplinary study by combining human cognition, new media technology and software design. The highly touted Political Management masters-level program is the country\u2019s first rigorous intellectual training ground for political staff, strategists, tacticians and advocates designed to improve the political culture of this country, resulting in more constructive politics and well-informed policy decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other new graduate programs include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Master of Political Management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master of Architectural Studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master of Arts in Religion and Public Life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master of Arts in Women\u2019s and Gender Studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master of Science in Neuroscience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full selection of Carleton\u2019s new graduate programs, please go to: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/fgpa\/new-graduate-programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/fgpa\/new-graduate-programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New undergraduate programs include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English, Concentration in Creative Writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bachelor of Commerce, Concentrations in Supply Chain Management (formerly Operations Management) and Entrepreneurship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours), Robotics Stream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bachelor of Information Technology, Photonics and Laser Technology program (BIT-PLT)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bachelor of Science (Honours, Major and General) in Neuroscience and Mental Health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expanded program in the Bachelor of Science in Biology to include concentrations in Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour; Health Science; Molecular and Cellular Biology; and Physiology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New co-op programs in BA (Honours) English and European and Russian Studies (as well as in the new Commerce concentrations, BIT-PLT, and the BSc Robotics stream)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New languages within the School of Linguistics and Language Studies: Ki-Swahili, Turkish, Inuktitut, Anishinaabemowin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For a full selection of undergraduate programs, go to: <a href=\"http:\/\/calendar.carleton.ca\/undergrad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/calendar.carleton.ca\/undergrad\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carleton offers more than 100 graduate programs to over 3,500 students each year and 15 undergraduate degree programs with over 100 majors, concentrations and specializations to 22,278 full and part-time undergraduate students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2011 Carleton University is home this fall to a new, one-of-a-kind doctoral program in Legal Studies.
