The Emphasis in Linguistics enables students to add to their programs a series of courses designed specifically to complement their studies in a language or languages. The basis of the program is the first-year introductory course in linguistics, and then students may choose from a variety of courses offered by Modern Languages, English, Anthropology and Ancient History & Classics which will allow them to pursue more specific interests in language and linguistics. The transcripts of students who have successfully completed the requirements of the emphasis program will contain the notation “with an Emphasis in Linguistics.” To qualify for the Emphasis, students must take MODL 101 (or the combination of MODL 1001H and MODL 1002H), plus three credits from among the following courses:
ANTH 231
ENGL 3100, 4100/4101H
FREN 215
GREK 100
LATN 100

The Emphasis in Medieval & Renaissance Studies is available to students in any Honours program. The Emphasis answers a growing student interest in the thought, literature and politics of the pre-industrial world. While this period is often romanticized as a “golden fantasy realm,” a detailed study of the period 600-1700 C.E. allows students a window on the development of Western European – and, by extension, a measure of North American – cultural ideology. Students must declare a focus in either in historical or literary studies.
The transcripts of students graduating with an Honours degree who have successfully completed the requirements of the Emphasis will contain the notation “with an Emphasis in Medieval & Renaissance Studies.”
Note
• It is strongly recommended that students choose elective courses from the offerings of the department of Ancient History & Classics.
The Emphasis in Medieval & Renaissance Studies consists of:
– LATN 200
– for the focus on historical studies 2 credits, and for the focus on literary studies 3 credits in any of the ENGL 31xx series, ENGL3200 or any of the ENGL 41xx series
– for the focus on historical studies 3 credits, and for the focus on literary studies 2 credits in HIST 200, 205, 355H, 360, 380 or any credit in the Medieval or Early Modern period at the fourth-year level
– at least one of the credits at the 400-level in the discipline of focus

The Emphasis in Northern & Polar Studies is available to students in any Honours or General program. It is designed to stimulate interest in the higher latitudes in all academic departments and programs at Trent. It is also designed to give students from the North an opportunity to extend and deepen knowledge of their home regions.
The transcripts of students graduating with an Honours or General degree, who have successfully completed the requirements of the Emphasis, will contain the notation “with an Emphasis in Northern & Polar Studies.”
Notes
• For the purposes of this program, the definition of “north polar regions” is that of the Northern Scientific Training Grants program of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. This definition includes northern parts of most provinces. “South polar regions” include the continent of Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands. The Committee on Northern & Polar Studies will rule where eligibility is in doubt.
• Students must have completed at least one month of formal post-secondary study in the north or south polar regions. Such study may take the form of course work or independent or supervised research. As an alternative, students may have lived in the north or south polar regions for more than one year during their teens or later years. Proof of polar experience must be submitted to the program co-ordinator at least six months before graduation.
• Credits from Yukon and Arctic Colleges, acceptable to Trent University, may be counted towards this emphasis to a maximum of 2.5 credits.
• Students are encouraged to consult the program co-ordinator about their selection of courses for the Emphasis at the start of their second year. They must do so at least six months before graduation. Early contact with the program co-ordinator has the advantage of putting the student in touch with others, students and faculty, with like interests.
• The permission of the instructor must be obtained for all courses, before the course begins, with the exception of courses marked with an asterisk (*) below. The instructor must notify the program co-ordinator that she/he is aware that a student is taking the course for the Emphasis and ensure that a portion of the course work undertaken by the student is directed to study of the polar regions.
• No more than three credits in reading, special topic or thesis courses may be included in the program. Students interested in pursuing these options must obtain the permission of the instructor and of the program co-ordinator. Permission forms are available from the program co-ordinator.
The Emphasis in Northern & Polar Studies consists of five credits, at least two credits from the following courses:

To be named
The Emphasis in Teacher Education is intended for students who are planning a single- or joint-major Honours program, who wish to prepare themselves to teach at the Elementary or Secondary level, and who plan to apply to a Consecutive Teacher Education program on the completion of their Honours degree.
The Emphasis does not guarantee admission to any Consecutive program, but the transcripts of students graduating with an Honours degree, who have successfully completed the requirements of the Emphasis, will contain the notation “with an Emphasis in Teacher Education.”
Students must have an overall average of 70% at the end of their final year.
Since the course requirements for admission to Consecutive programs differ for elementary and secondary candidates, the requirements for the Emphasis in Teacher Education also differ accordingly.
Although the requirements for the Emphasis in Teacher Education are possible to meet within the twenty credits required for the completion of an Honours degree, students may decide or need to take one or two extra credits to fulfill the requirements of the Emphasis.
Entry into the Emphasis in Teacher Education
Full-time or part-time students normally enter the Emphasis in their first year. Qualified students who have completed a maximum of five credits with at least a 70% average may also be eligible to enter the Emphasis.
In addition to completion of the requirements for a single- or joint-major B.A. or B.Sc., there are five required credits for the Emphasis. These include a minimum of two credits in Curriculum Studies, two credits in Foundational Studies, and a fifth credit in either Curriculum or Foundational Studies or EDEM 400.
