About this course

What will I learn?

The Department of Canadian Studies offers a Diploma for students who wish to undertake a single academic year (September to 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 department, 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. The Diploma is awarded in the spring along with a Trent University transcript identifying all courses undertaken and grades received. Upon successful completion of the Diploma, students may apply for admission to the BA program in Canadian Studies. Credits earned in the Diploma program are transferable to the BA degree.
