*Additional notes:
- Courses without specified year levels must include at least 3.0 credits at the 3000 and/or 4000 level(s), and no more than 2.5 credits at the 1000 level. Elective credits must also include at least 0.5 credit from the Approved Indigenous Course List, if not completed through major requirements.
- Students will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Forensic Science and the second program chosen. Popular second majors for Forensic Science students include Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and Sociology, though choices are not limited to these majors. A full list of available majors is available at http://trentu.ca/futurestudents. The number of credits required for the second major will vary, and as a result, students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss options that will not extend studies beyond 13.0 credits at Trent. The same course may not simultaneously satisfy the requirements of both programs in a joint-major degree.
Degree requirements are subject to change. Refer to the most recent version of the Academic Calendar for course descriptions and degree requirements, which apply to all undergraduate programs (http://trentu.ca/calendar). Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for courses for assistance with degree planning (http://trentu.ca/advising).
