Seventy-five

years of science

Carleton celebrates its 75th anniversary
in 2017. There have been countless
changes since a group of visionary
citizens opened the doors of a new
college in 1942 for students building
their careers after military service
in the Second World War. Over the
next two decades, Carleton evolved
into a university and its science
programs grew to the point where
a Faculty of Science was created in
1963. Today, the Faculty of Science
is comprised of 12 academic units
housed primarily in six buildings. More
than 3,300 undergraduate and 500
graduate students enroll each year in
the faculty’s 34 undergraduate and 19
Photo: graduate degree programs.
