Degree and Programs

Undergraduate programs can be found here, with three degree options to choose from:

If you are planning to attend graduate school and your goal is to become a professional chemist, you should consider the Bachelor of Science (honours) program. This program offers the following options:

It is also possible to complete a four-year combined honours degree in:

Nanotechnology

Carleton offers an innovative Concentration in Nanotechnology to students in the Honours Chemistry Bachelor of Science (BSc) program. Nanotechnology techniques involve the synthesis
and characterization of new materials containing only a few atoms deposited on a surface or a self-assembly of molecules.

Applications of nanotechnology have already given rise to a host of novel materials with enhanced strength and flexibility for the aerospace industry.

In medicine, new methods of drug delivery via controlled time release and new treatments for cancer have come about from nanotechnological advances. Undoubtedly, future applications of nanotechnology will be visible in many areas including the development of microchips for the electronics industry.

Honours chemistry at Carleton University provides a challenging, 20.0 credit degree that ensures a great preparation for possible graduate studies. Professors are enthusiastic and interactive, while instrument and lab technologists are helpful and friendly. Carleton offers the opportunity for undergraduate lab experience through scholarships and bursaries, as well as summer employment and teaching assistant positions. The program gives a very thorough education in chemistry but also allows room for a variety of other disciplines to be explored. I have received from Carleton everything that I expected to and much, much more.
