Notes:

  • 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 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.
  • History 597 is a 3-unit (0.5 full-course equivalent) directed reading course in their special field of interest, which is normally completed in the third year.
  • In History 598 (6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent)) during the final year, under the supervision of one of the members of the Department, students write an Honours Essay using primary source materials. Students are also expected to participate in sessions throughout the year that will be facilitated by the Honours Advisor.
  • In some situations it may be possible to demonstrate language proficiency by examination rather than course work.
