In a country where only a handful of universities offers an undergraduate degree in Archaeology, Trent offers two: a B.A. (with two specializations possible) and a B.Sc. Find out what else sets us apart:
The faculty
We have more permanent faculty members than any other Canadian undergraduate archaeology program.
Students learn from award-winning instructors and researchers, whose wide-ranging interests result in a diversity of course and experiential choices for students.

Our courses incorporate aspects such as:

We encourage active engagement in learning, through small class sizes, seminars, and/or labs in many of our courses.
