The Carleton Advantage
You can study Physics as your Honours subject (with Astrophysics, Experimental or Theory streams) or in combination with Biology, Chemistry or Mathematics..
Whether investigating elementary particles or surveying galactic superclusters, the broad scope of courses and research opportunities at Carleton gives Physics and Astronomy students a well-rounded understanding of the physical world and how things in it work.Jul 6, 2023.
Carleton University offers two Physics degree options
A Bachelor of Science (Major) and a Bachelor of Science (Honours).
The Department of Physics offers a complete set of undergraduate programs including:
A Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Physics is also available
As is a Minor in Physics.
The Department of Physics collaborates with the Department of Electronics Engineering in offering a Bachelor of Engineering program in Engineering Physics. The aim of this program is to produce engineers with a deep understanding of the scientific foundation of engineering so that they can contribute to the development of new engineering processes .
The four-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) programs in Applied Physics and in Physics (Astrophysics, Experimental or Theory stream) each require 20.0 credits to complete. These degrees prepare you for a physics career in the industrial sector or for further studies in pure or applied physics at the graduate level. These four B.Sc. Honours programs.
American scientist
Carleton B.Moore was an Emeritus Regents Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences (SMS) and the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) at Arizona State University (ASU).He was a pioneering researcher in the field of meteorite studies
And the founding Director of the ASU Center for Meteorite Studies
Which houses the world’s largest university-based meteorite collection.Moore is credited with being the first scientist to detect carbon in lunar samples returned by the Apollo astronauts and he was also one of the researchers credited with identifying the first extra-terrestrial amino acids in a meteorite.Both an asteroid
5046 Carletonmoore in 1981
And a mineralcarletonmooreite in 2021
Were named in honor of his contributions to meteorite research.
