Overview

Welcome to the Bachelor of Arts and Science programme from Trent University , a unique home for interdisciplinary thought and transformative purpose at Trent University, on the territory and treaty of the Michi Saagig Nishnaabeg. My name is Jessica Marion Barr (she/her), and I am the Program Coordinator as well as a professor in the BAS Program.

Key Facts

Born from a dream shared by faculty who wanted to explore and encourage interdisciplinary research and teaching at the intersections of arts and sciences, our small-but-mighty program is now entering its 13th year! We have grown a lot during this time, and in addition to our core degree program, we now also offer Co-op and Medical Science dual degree options. We encourage you to explore our wonder-filled courses and customizable degree options.

Please feel free to reach out to the amazing Academic Administrative Assistant Christine Quigley with any questions, or just to say hello -- in the words of the late Dr. David Ellis, ask me anything!
