  • as a single major
  • as a joint major with any of over 30 Trent disciplines (e.g., an ERS-Canadian Studies joint major), or
  • as a minor, which may be combined with other single- and joint-major subject combinations.

In addition, this degree can be further focussed on any of several different topics by adding an Emphasis (see below).
