Notes:

• History 496 is a half-year course, normally completed in the third year, dealing predominantly with differing interpretations, theories and philosophies of History.
• History students are advised to take History 300 during their second year and must do so before taking History 496 and any 500-level courses.
• History 597 is a half-year directed reading course in their special field of interest, which normally completed in the third year. If the honours advisor, who normally conducts History 597, deems it necessary, students may be strongly encouraged to complete a second term of this course for credit in order to establish the skills and background necessary to successfully complete an honours thesis.
• In History 598 during the final year, under the supervision of one of the members of the Department students write an Honours Essay using primary source materials.
• In some situations it may be possible to demonstrate language proficiency by examination rather than course work.
