Exploring History academically and professionally means breathing life into bygone eras. This field covers the full spectrum of human existence, from global conflicts to pop culture phenomena, continually transforming as our understanding deepens and viewpoints shift. As a History student, you'll enjoy the freedom to follow your passions within the discipline while benefiting from close faculty mentorship thanks to our intimate class settings. Our curriculum offers diverse methodological approaches to historical inquiry and equips you with critical tools to examine any subject through a historical lens. You'll investigate themes spanning North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, including: Indigenous Histories, Digital Archives, Ecological History, Gender Studies, Global Development, Political Systems, Healthcare Evolution, Warfare Studies, and Societal Transformations.
You can pair your History degree with programs in English, French, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, Gender Studies, Outdoor Education, or Concurrent Education. Pursuing a double major lets you connect historical insights to specific disciplines while concentrating your academic path from day one. Additional certificate programs are offered. Students may also opt for specialized tracks in Public History or Military History within their degree program.
