Bachelor of Arts Program in Gender & Social Justice
Gender & Social Justice Co-op is a competitive direct-entry program with a limited number of student places. Students who are not admitted directly may apply for admission after commencing studies at Trent and may be admitted on a competitive basis provided there are available spaces in the program. To remain in the co-op program, students must complete the required work term preparation and reflection courses (COOP 2000H and 4000H) with a minimum 65% progression requirement in both COOP 2000H and 4000H and maintain a minimum 75% cumulative average throughout their study terms. In addition, students must continue to receive satisfactory evaluations during each of their three work terms. Students who do not achieve a minimum 65% in COOP 2000H will be withdrawn from the co-op program but may continue their studies in Gender & Social Justice or transfer to a major in a different subject. Once withdrawn, students are not eligible to re-enter the co-op program. Students who do not achieve a minimum 65% in COOP 4000H but otherwise fulfill all degree requirements will be awarded an Honours degree in Gender & Social Justice without the Co-op designation.
