Why recruit students at Trent University?

A Trent undergraduate education equips students with the tools they need to think critically and move beyond accepted paradigms and knowledge by challenging the ways that they and others think. At Trent, undergraduate students connect and collaborate with faculty, staff and their peers through diverse communities that span residential colleges, classrooms, disciplines, hands-on research, co-curricular and community-based activities. Trent grads also have a unique ability to truly create their own degree by combining disciplines and taking courses from programs across the arts, sciences and even professional programs. Forensics and Philosophy? Business Admin and Media Studies? The possibilities are virtually endless and this makes Trent grads excellent, well-rounded candidates for your organization.
