Eligibility Criteria
The Canadian Studies program offers a Diploma for students who wish to undertake a single academic year (September-April) focused directly upon Canadian political economy, society, environment and culture. Students wishing to enrol in the Diploma program must apply, in writing, to the chair of the program, indicating course preferences. As the number of spaces is limited, acceptance is not automatic. The Chair or designate selects the successful candidates in consultation with the Admissions Committee.
Applicants must either be students registered in, or graduates of an accredited post- secondary educational institution normally other than Trent University. An official transcript, including evidence of the content of courses completed and grades received must accompany the application
The Diploma is awarded in the Spring. With it is included a Trent University transcript identifying all courses undertaken and grades received. Upon successful completion of the Diploma, students may apply for admission to the B.A. program in Canadian Studies. Credits earned in the Diploma program are transferable to the B.A. degree.
