Forensic Science
Trent-Fleming School of Nursing
OUAC CODE: RU Trent University’s Forensic Science Program offers two degree options: one is a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science (B.Sc.F.S.), the other is a joint-major degree. Regardless of the degree being pursued, forensic science students at Trent are fully immersed in a functioning forensic research and service environment located in the DNA Building. Students will practice casework, analyze ethical and legal issues related to evidence, face the challenge of communicating complex scientif c evidence within the legal system, and participate in ‘hands-on’ activities and labs. Students also develop professional investigation skills by processing crime scenarios at the crime scene house oncampus. The Forensic Science program at Trent has established professional partnerships with an array of forensic practitioners to ensure our content is shaped by the latest forensic theory and practice. Students in the B.Sc.F.S. program will also participate in a placement/ mentorship course where they gain valuable ‘real-world’ experience and begin to develop their professional network.
OUAC CODE: RCN (4 year program) RFN (compressed 3 year program; open to students with one year of university or equivalent) Emphasizing a holistic approach to health care, you are supported in developing both knowledge and skills through lectures, case studies, nursing simulation labs and clinical practice.

The professors here are dedicated to giving individual attention to each of their students. The hands-on experience that we receive has reaffirmed my decision to become a nurse.” Stephanie Menevissis, 2nd year Nursing student
“My placement experience was amazing! Not only did I learn many new things, I had fun doing it. I was in the Yorkton Regional Hospital in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and each day I shadowed different lab technicians. This placement was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I am really grateful for having this amazing opportunity.” Michelle Sniatynski, Forensic Science (B.Sc.F.S.) student
