Carleton University's Northern Studies graduate program offers an interdisciplinary approach focusing on northern environments, communities, and their governing policies. Students can pursue this program as either a Master of Arts, Master of Science, or Graduate Diploma.
Each program provides comprehensive interdisciplinary training in Northern Studies, beginning with an essential one-week field course located too far from Ottawa for daily travel. This residential experience serves as a prerequisite for the core curriculum. Degree candidates must additionally complete a work placement (in Ottawa or northern regions), a second northern Canadian field course, and pass a comprehensive examination as part of their requirements.

Customarily, applicants will have degrees in the environmental sciences, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, geography, or a related field. Applicants with degrees in other disciplines, or without an honours degree, must demonstrate equivalent experience that may have prepared them for the program. Applicants must present a succinct 500-word statement indicating why they anticipate academic success in an interdisciplinary environment and outlining their motivation for taking this program.
