Native Studies 30th Anniversary Association President's Message Trent's Outstanding Research Record Convocation 2000 Photo Collage What's New in Academic Programs |
Trent's interdisciplinary approach to learning will be further
broadened with three new 'emphasis programs'. Law & Policy
will incorporate courses in Political Studies, Economics, ERS,
Sociology, Native Studies and Philosophy. Alan Law and Julia
Harrison will co-ordinate an emphasis program in Travel Studies,
for honours students, drawing from Anthropology, Geography, Sociology
and English Literature. The calendar copy for the proposed Applied
Ethics emphasis reads, in part, "A solid grounding in critical
thinking, ethical theory, and applied ethics is increasingly
important for the many different kinds of careers that involve
developing reasoned responses to public policy." Administrative Studies has changed the name of its degree to Bachelor of Business Administration to better reelect the content and orientation of the program. Also proposed is a joint major Honours Program to allow students in other disciplines to enhance career opportunities by incorporating the study of business theory and practice. "Globalization: Communities and Identities" is a proposed joint major Honours program "intended for students with a particular interest in the cultural dimensions of globalization." |
