Established in 1942, Carleton University is a leading public comprehensive research university located in Canada's capital city, Ottawa, Ontario. Renowned as "Canada's Capital University", Carleton leverages its prime national capital setting to maintain deep collaborative partnerships with the Parliament of Canada, federal ministries, foreign embassies, non-governmental organizations, and Kanata North—Canada's largest technology park. Educating over 31,000 undergraduate and graduate students, including more than 4,500 international scholars representing over 150 nations, Carleton is internationally distinguished for its high-impact academic disciplines across the Arthur Kroeger College of Public Affairs, the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA), Canada's oldest School of Journalism and Communication, the AACSB-accredited Sprott School of Business, the Faculty of Engineering and Design, the School of Computer Science, and the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism. Carleton's picturesque 150-acre self-contained campus is flanked by the Rideau River and the UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal, interconnected by a world-famous 5-kilometre climate-controlled underground pedestrian tunnel network, and serviced directly by its own dedicated O-Train light rail transit station.
