As the first university in the country to establish a Canadian Studies program, Trent is renowned for expertise and leadership in this important field of study. In this diverse, interdisciplinary program, students develop insight into the life and history of Canada and the role it plays in today’s world. By examining themes such as culture, art, literature, politics, and the environment, you’ll develop a greater understanding of the diverse and debated meaning of the Canadian experience. In small workshop-based classes you’ll build a dialogue with your professors, many of whom are national and international experts in their field. Students of this well-established program are also eligible for several degree-specific scholarships and awards.
