Among comprehensive schools, Carleton’s financial support of its students garnered a second-place ranking. Additional areas where it scored well included national awards per full-time faculty member (fourth), and the percentage of the overall budget dedicated to maintaining library services (fourth).
“Our own research confirms that prospective students rely on a number of information sources when researching their university options and that rankings are one additional source of information for them,” said Roseann O’Reilly Runte, president and vice-chancellor.
“With these results, it is timely to commend our faculty and staff for their leadership and for the important support they provide every day to make sure our students are continuing to receive exceptional learning experiences at Carleton University.”
