Overview

Program Description The Child & Youth Studies program focuses on the different ways children learn and develop. Knowledge gained from lively and interactive in-class discussions are complemented and enhanced by opportunities to gain hands- on work experience with community partners. Students will gain essential expertise in understanding the child and youth experience through exploration in emotional and cognitive development, relationships and social interaction, diversity and social justice, laws and rights, and teaching and programming. This interdisciplinary approach to learning helps prepare students for a variety of careers connecting them with their future goals. As a Sociology student at Trent University, students will explore and question a diverse range of social topics, completing their studies with an understanding of social organizations and institutions and people’s place in them. This program is progressive, critical and timely in the way it engages students in not only understanding but also acting on the consequences of social change with practical learning components. Through this degree, students will explore and question a diverse range of social topics, completing their studies with a heightened understanding of human relationships and society, rooted in the social sciences and inspired by a passion for social justice. A Sociology degree is an excellent foundation for law school, teachers college, social work or similar programs. Students will complete a community placement, working with health centres, cultural centres, community agencies. They will take part in workshops that explore important topics like the importance of imagination as portrayed through the cultural environment of children. Students will expand their learning through courses that encompass a wide range of disciplines – this breadth of knowledge will help them find a meaningful and impactful career. They will undertake an undergraduate independent research thesis or research practicum and work one-on-one with award-winning faculty – this translates into solid references for grad school or their jobs after graduation.
