Course planning

It is important you draft a course plan for your studies at Trent.  By developing a course plan, you ensure you have the required pre-requisite courses to register in the courses you are interested in as well as meet the requirements to graduate.

First year - For those considering a Specialization in Information Systems, students should complete ADMN 1000H, ADMN 1221H, ECON 1010H, and ECON 1020H in first year.  If you take ADMN 1000H and 1221H in the fall, you could consider taking one or two of the second year ADMN courses (ie. ADMN 2010H, 2100H, 2220H, 2230H, or 2510H) in the winter term of first year.  This will then leave space in the upper years to timetable the appropriate courses.  .  It is also suggested you take COIS 1010H, 1020H and 1620H in first year.

Second year – For those considering a Specialization in Information Systems, you should complete COIS 2620H and 2240H by the end of second year. Students should also complete all required ADMN and ECON second year level courses.

Over third and fourth year, students should also complete all required ADMN third and fourth year level courses.

Fourth year – Consider applying for the placement course ADMN 4870H (minimum 72% cumulative average required) and secure an experiential learning position with a local agency.
