Honours BA in History (Co-op) - Scarborough in Scarborough Canada | University of Toronto

Exploring History is crucial for comprehending today's world. It presents diverse perspectives on how modern society evolved and highlights contrasts between past civilizations and our own. UTSC's History programs deliver an engaging overview of worldwide changes across the last two thousand years, with special attention to how everyday individuals shaped these developments. Our courses examine global histories through intricate international relationships, addressing subjects like daily existence, colonial impacts, gender dynamics, labor history, religious influences, environmental changes, city growth, intellectual movements, migration patterns, racial identities, and cultural artifacts. Historical discoveries rely on meticulous analysis of primary sources, whether documents, visuals, or artifacts, and our programs stress essential analytical, investigative, and writing abilities needed for historical study and various career paths. As a cross-disciplinary field, History connects with numerous other disciplines such as Classics, Global Asian Studies, African Studies, Gender Studies, and Food Studies, while also enriching studies in Political Science, Philosophy, Literature, Arts, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, and Geography.
The History Major (Co-op) Program blends academic learning with practical experience through paid positions in government, business, and nonprofit organizations. This Work Integrated Learning (WIL) initiative helps students build both scholarly and professional competencies for careers in these fields or advanced historical studies.
Beyond classroom coursework, participants must complete preparatory Arts & Science Co-op training and at least two Co-op work placements.
