Program details
Overview
The PhD in Canadian Studies is offered through the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies & Indigenous Studies, within the School for the Study of Canada / École d'études canadiennes at Trent University. The program takes an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to the study of Canada, including through comparative perspectives with other countries and regions. Students normally undertake the degree on a full-time basis. The program requires four credits of doctoral-level work, followed by comprehensive examinations, and culminates in a dissertation proposal that is defended in English before students proceed to researching and writing the dissertation itself. The completed dissertation, worth 1.0 credit, must be defended in English at an oral examination. The degree draws on faculty across multiple disciplines connected to Canadian and Indigenous studies, allowing students to design a program of study that reflects their own research interests within the broader field of Canadian Studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The normal requirement for admission into the PhD program is a Master’s degree (or equivalent), with at least high Honours standing, in Canadian Studies or a cognate discipline. Applicants should note, however, that meeting the admission requirement does not guarantee admission to the program.
