“By studying physical anthropology and biology at Trent University and learning about the human skeletal system and other biological systems, I was better able to prepare for my run across Canada for the Canadian Cancer Society. Thanks to my studies, I know what it takes for my bones to repair as I run day-in and day-out, and that knowledge is simply invaluable to my journey. What better way to Live Your Education than to let your education help you to help others?”

the trent diFFerenCe…Trent offers a wide range of degree programs in the sciences, humanities and social sciences, along with exceptional professional programs including Business Administration, Education, Forensic Science and Nursing. For the first time, the University will offer a limited enrolment Bachelor of Arts and Science. In most Arts and Science majors you can indicate your interests when you apply for admission, but you won’t have to declare your major until the end of your first year of study, when your experience will tell you where your true passions are. At Trent, changing your major is easy – and combining courses from different disciplines is welcomed and encouraged.

We have launched exciting new programs with your future in mind. While you may already be thinking about a particular area of study, we encourage students to explore a range of disciplines at Trent to enhance your degree and your options.

ArChAeology (b.A. or b.sc.)

Archaeology is the interdisciplinary study of the human past through material remains–the artefacts, art, and architecture that people created, used, and discarded many years ago. Students learn the field methods, laboratory techniques, and theories that archaeologists use to reconstruct and understand the ancient cultures and past civilizations of the Americas, Europe, and the pre-Classical and Classical Mediterranean world.

why trent? Interdisciplinary program links classes in Anthropology and

Ancient History & Classics with the sciences Opportunities to specialize in Anthropological Archaeology or

Classical Archaeology Archaeological field schools in Ontario, Belize, and the Mediterranean. Internationally known faculty conduct innovative research around

the world Specialized labs for bioarchaeology, GIS, archaeozoology,

and lithic analysis TUARC (Trent University Archaeological Research Centre) connects

students to professional archaeologists and bioarchaeologists

mediA studies (b.A.)+

More than forty years ago, Marshall McLuhan famously said: “each of us lives several hundred years in a decade.” Since then, the rate of technological change has increased exponentially. In the Media Studies program, we invite students to engage in complex questions about society and the media. What happens to our concepts of community, memory, knowledge, the Individual, place, and time with each new media innovation? What does it mean to be “media literate” today? how do contemporary media environments work differently from those in the past, and to what effect?

why trent? A unique combination of courses in Cultural Studies, Anthropology,

Philosophy, Computing & Information Systems, Canadian Studies, Sociology, and Psychology.

Explore the implications for knowledge, individuality, and community at the heart of the humanistic study of the media.
