The 2021 university rankings<\/a> published in Maclean\u2019s<\/em> magazine on Oct. 8, 2020 confirm Carleton University\u2019s significant momentum in the post-secondary sector, particularly in the areas of research, student satisfaction and student awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among 15 comprehensive universities in Canada \u2014 those with a significant amount of research activity and a wide range of programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including professional degrees \u2014 Carleton maintained its Top 5 overall ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI am pleased that Carleton\u2019s excellence in research and education is being recognized with a strong overall showing in these national rankings,\u201d said Carleton President Benoit-Antoine Bacon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThis points to the notable momentum that is taking place in all areas of our university community. I am so proud of the amazing work of our faculty, staff and students, particularly through these difficult months grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area of research, Carleton\u2019s significant growth in research funding was recognized with a jump to No. 3 in funding in the social sciences and humanities, and a No. 5 position in science and medical funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student satisfaction also remained high, with Carleton scoring No. 3 for overall satisfaction among students, No. 2 for residence living, and No. 4 in student awards, scholarships and bursaries, compared with other universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Bacon noted that there is still work to be done in sharing Carleton\u2019s good news beyond the campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe rank very strongly among comprehensive universities, but the survey clearly shows that our reputation lags behind our performance,\u201d he said, noting Carleton\u2019s No. 9 ranking in the reputational portion of the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

\u201cTelling our story more loudly will be an important part of our work in the coming year following the recent release of our new exciting Strategic Integrated Plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The new Strategic Integrated Plan<\/a> lays out a five-year roadmap for Carleton that emphasizes three forward looking strategic directions: Share knowledge \u2013 Shape the Future; Serve Ottawa \u2013 Serve Ottawa; Strive for Wellness \u2013 Strive for Sustainability. It was officially launched on September 30<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
