What Our Students Say

95% of students are happy they chose Trent

Brooke Dakers
English Literature
Amy Graves
English Language & Literature

“Every week, at a set time, the lecture would drop and I could spend all day or all week working on lecture slides and course material. I enjoyed this approach because it was flexible and gave me a routine especially with my busy work schedule. The professor was very accommodating with answering emails. She also set up a digital platform for students to engage in discussions or answer questions, which was just like a classroom discussion and just as lively.”

Brooke Dakers, English Literature Student

“The learning schedule was super flexible with weekly lessons and readings that I could do independently. It was ideal because it allowed me to work full-time during the summer. In an online course, I was still able to connect with peers through chat rooms and discussion boards. I highly recommend students take an online course. It is flexible, convenient, and a great way to get ahead of your degree.”

Amy Graves, English Language & Literature

Is Online Learning Right For You?

Study at your own pace

If you have self-discipline, can manage time and deadlines, prefer to study at your own pace, and enjoy the flexibility of learning from anywhere, online learning may be for you. Studying off-campus may seem a bit intimidating, but you aren’t on your own. As an active participant, you’ll enjoy the close communication with your classmates and instructor in a virtual small-group setting.
