Capital Advantage & Career Opportunities
At Carleton, there are unparalleled opportunities to collaborate. As a principal sponsorsing member of the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, our students participate in lectures sponsored by the Institute, including the Fields-Carleton Distinguished Lecture Series.
Our graduate students enjoy the advantage of studying in the nation’s capital, which provides easy access to paid internships in government departments and private industry. Internships have been held at Corel, Health Canada, the Loeb Research Institute, Canadian Border Services Agency, the Canadian Institute of Health Information and Generation V, among others. Placements are competitive and not guaranteed.
The School hosts the Centre for Quantitative Analysis and Decision Support (CQADS), which offers a myriad of analytical services to clients on a cost-recovery basis. As part of its activities, the Centre provides funding, training and on-the-job consulting experience to qualified grad students and recent alumni. Students work with clients such as the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre, United Way Centraide Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, Nordicity Group Ltd. and Transport Canada.
