Science Programs EXAMINE THE QUESTIONS. CHALLENGE THE FINDINGS. RESEARCH NEW POSSIBILITIES.
Anthropology § OUAC CODES: RSA [Peterborough], RON [Oshawa] Anthropology studies both the social and biological aspects of human experience, with a strong focus on the variability shown by humans through space and time. You will learn about people as complex social beings with the capacity for language and culture, and as physical beings adapting to environments, affected by disease, and developing through the human lifecycle. “I have thoroughly enjoyed Anthropology at Trent! It has allowed me to double major with another science program and offered incredible fieldwork opportunities such as participating in an archaeological excavation in Belize. The professors are fantastic and the program is personal which makes it an amazing undergraduate experience.” Shannon Rourke, Anthropology/Biology graduate
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Biology OUAC CODE: RBI
OUAC CODE: RBM Without chemistry, there is no life. Solid groundings in chemistry, genetics, and cell biology will prepare you mentally and technically for advanced studies in the dynamic and ever-changing disciplines of biochemistry and molecular biology. Certain laboratories will challenge you to design and execute your own experiments. Opportunities to work with faculty on their research are available. “I am, and will always be, proud of Trent’s biochemistry program! It laid a very solid foundation for my understanding of the chemistry of life processes, which has well-prepared me for both graduate studies and the medical field. The passionate professors and informative labs keep you updated on the hot topics in biochemistry.“
As the study of life at all levels of organization, Biology is central to some of today’s most pressing concerns, such as declines in biodiversity and the spread of infectious diseases. Through lectures, labs, and f eld exercises, you will learn the underlying theories and concepts of biology and gain experience in applying these to real questions and situations. “I have had the pleasure of not only being involved in class coursework in Biology but also of working in research studying neonatal development and breast cancer risk; this opportunity gave me hands on laboratory experience at an undergraduate level that I had never imagined I would have!” Nusrat Mutmainnah, Biology/Business Administration B.Sc graduate
Sabelo Lukhele, Biochemistry graduate
