Teaching and research are at the heart of Carleton’s mission. In fact, everything they do at Carleton has its roots in teaching and research in one form or another. Whether members of the Carleton community are uncovering or creating knowledge in a library, lab, or classroom, leading a student club, or participating in an internship, exchange, or conference, they are expanding their knowledge and contributing to the goals of Carleton's research-intensive institution for the benefit of their own—and for others’—scholarly, scientific, professional, or personal objectives. Carleton does not aspire to be an ivory tower, disjointed and isolated from the complexities of our time. Instead, they aspire to continue to be a supportive, dynamic, curious, innovative institution that fosters a welcoming community focused on developing and sharing knowledge that will shape the future. This broad academic mission travels beyond traditional disciplines and looks to community betterment as a lens through which to improve the societies in which we live and to foster graduates who think in imaginative and innovative ways.
