The Trent Advantage

An Interdisciplinary Experience

No other university offers you more ways to study the environment

What makes Trent School of the Environment (TSE) so exceptional? There’s a long list, but let’s start with the top five:

  • Respected credentials – We are the first university in Canada to achieve accreditation from ECO Canada. With six ECO Canada accredited degrees, the TSE is widely recognized by the world’s top environmental employers. Our accreditation can give you an advantage landing that perfect summer job through wage-funded co-ops and employment opportunities (ask us how!). Degrees from the TSE are also respected world-wide as credentials for some of the most prestigious postgraduate and professional schools
  • Expert faculty – The TSE is home to globally-recognized experts tackling the world’s most complex challenges including climate change and pollution, environmental policy, food security, the health of freshwater ecosystems, energy security, and urban planning. These respected profs – including prestigious Canada Research Chairs – will know you by name and interact with you one-on-one as you work together to make a positive impact on the health of our planet. You might even get involved in their research
  • We are the school with the widest variety and depth of environmental programming in Canada – The School’s degree options are as distinctive as you are. Our 14 degree offerings, including nine BSc programs, four BA programs and one combined BESS program, cover a unique range of subjects such as Environmental Geoscience; Ecological Restoration; Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems; Indigenous Environmental Studies, as well as a new Option in Climate Communications. The TSE also boasts more than 140 courses across multiple disciplines in the arts and sciences
  • Co-op, internships, placements and experiential learning – The TSE proudly offers the highest number of experiential learning opportunities of any department at Trent. Apply your environmental knowledge to the real world through co-op, on-campus field and lab work, as well as local and international placements and internships. Our students work with the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources & Forestry (right here on campus), Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada
  • Go state-of-the-art and back to nature – Imagine studying and learning, hands-on, in one of the world’s leading water quality research facilities, examining the effects of soil degradation in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel, conducting research on the rooftop garden, or studying the natural world in 11 on-campus nature areas – at Trent, you have access to it all
