Department of History

We encourage students with a passion for learning and an interest in the past to try out one of our many courses offered every semester. If you would like information about majoring or minoring in History, or in pursuing a History MA, don’t hesitate to stop by or get in touch. We need your perspectives in our classrooms.

We provide advanced humanistic education that equips students with research capabilities, writing skills, analytical methods, and communications skills that are useful in many career paths. Traditionally, historians have worked in closely related institutions such as libraries, archives, and museums, in academic settings as scholars and teachers, and in the media and government.

The Department of History takes pride in our students' success. We are always glad to hear from you.

Honours Program

The BA Honours Program is one that allows more specialization than is possible in the ordinary BA.  It is designed for students who wish a deeper insight and more intensive training in History, and who are able to meet the higher standards set.

However, while the BA Honours Program is intended to be more demanding than the ordinary BA, it does not emphasize original research or specialization to the same extent that the Master's degree does.

As part of the Honours Program a student must either take a two-semester Honours directed studies course or write an Honours Essay.  In either case there will be an oral examination at the end of the second semester.
