Course Description

Program Description Gain the diversity of knowledge today's employers are looking for by studying and specializing in not one, but two academic disciplines. History One of the most established and versatile university majors, the study of History paves the way for discovering human behaviour patterns, seeing beyond stereotypes, and discerning the difference between assumption and fact. As a History student at Trent, you'll have the opportunity to explore a variety of political and cultural themes while developing dynamic research, analytical, and communication skills that will become invaluable tools for your future career. Choose to focus your courses thematically, such as the Holocaust or the History of Crime, or by time period and location. Sociology Rooted in the social sciences and inspired by a passion for social justice, Trent's Sociology program engages students in understanding and acting on the consequences of social change. Gain first-hand research experience working with experts in the fields of aging, law, medicine, popular culture, and sexuality, examining and exploring these topics in a supportive environment. You can also conduct original research with one of our award winning faculty members, in areas of LGTBQ+ issues, the pharmaceutical industry, or human rights in prisons, among many other research areas, as part of our research practica opportunities.
