Introduction

The Department of History offers instruction in a broad range of historical fields. The Programs in History provide a broad liberal arts education, with widespread application. The BA Honours in History deepens the foundation in historical studies and provides excellent preparation for graduate studies in history as well as fields such as education, law, journalism and public administration.

The Department strongly recommends that History students do not concentrate their studies in one period or thematic area. The Department encourages breadth in History and advises students to take courses about different chronological eras, in different geographic areas, and from different analytical perspectives.
