• History 496 is a 3 unit (0.5 full-course equivalent) course, normally completed in the third year, dealing predominantly with differing interpretations, theories and philosophies of History.
• The lists of courses that fulfill the requirements for Canadian History and history before 1850 are located before the History courses in the “Courses of Instruction” section of this calendar.
