General Information
The study of history provides skills essential to many careers - in teaching, law, business, museums, journalism, or public service. It develops critical thinking, research, and writing skills, using both old and new technologies, in a small department with ready access to professors. History is also fascinating in itself, offering a window on various groups and perspectives that shaped the past, both in Canada and comparatively across the globe. Finally, studying the societies, politics, and ideas of past times sharpens the historical memory we can bring to issues of the present, informing and inspiring an active citizenship.
Course Outside of the Department Which May Be Counted Toward History Requirements
Up to four of the following courses may be used to satisfy the Major requirements for any history degree: GRHS-2100, GRHS-2101, GRHS-2200, GRHS-2201, DRAM-1300, DRAM-2300, CMAF-2400, CMAF-2410, KINE-2400. (Please note, instructor’s permission may be required.) No more than one of this list may be used to satisfy the requirements for a Minor in History.
