What will I learn?
In this program, graduates develop professional skills suitable to fields such as publishing, editing, communications, journalism, or archival work. Whether your interests are academic or applied, you can follow them in one of four program streams ranging from 12 months to two years.Structure your studies to include a major research paper, a thesis, research-creation project, or a sought-after internship option. Students may also pursue future studies at the Ph.D. level in English literature and connected areas such as print culture or the history of the book. Experiential opportunities are integral to the innovative Public Texts Program at Trent University. In core courses, students meet with experts in the publishing industry (e.g., archivists, librarians, printers, publishers, editors, booksellers, book designers, and researchers), go on literary fieldtrips, and present their projects as part of a public colloquium. In addition, students may choose the internship stream (with a 250 hour internship experience), by applying to one of our partners or to broader research and/or publishing communities. Finally, students might also opt for the research creation stream, which engages students in artistic process and production, such as creative writing, visual arts, media activities, or exhibition curation.As Canadian society experiences a significant demographic shift, and new perspectives on aging become more important than ever before, earn your MA, MSc or PhD along with a specialization in Aging Studies.As a humanities, sciences, or social sciences graduate student, explore the significance of aging for individuals, communities and societies through course work and research.At Trent, an international leader in interdisciplinary aging studies, you’ll earn a degree and a specialization in as little as one year.
