Introduction

The Department of History offers instruction in a broad range of historical fields. The Programs in History provide a broad liberal arts education, with widespread application. The BA Honours in History deepens the foundation in historical studies and provides excellent preparation for graduate studies in history as well as fields such as education, law, journalism and public administration.

The Department strongly recommends that History students do not concentrate their studies in one period or thematic area. The Department encourages breadth in History and that students take courses about different chronological eras, in different geographic areas, and from different analytical perspectives.

The Canadian Studies program offers an introduction to Canadian literature, the arts, politics and society. It is designed for those who might wish to pursue careers in government, law, education, communications or in other areas where a thorough knowledge of Canada is necessary. The program is interdisciplinary, which allows students to benefit from exposure to faculty members and ideas and developments from different fields.

First year students in Canadian Studies are encouraged to explore courses in a variety of areas. It is recommended that a first year program include: Canadian Studies 201 and at least an additional 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) from the Faculty of Arts. Competency in a second language is highly recommended. Degree programs in Canadian Studies include optional senior-level courses offered by various Departments. It is therefore useful to take first year courses from a variety of related areas such as history and political science.

The Latin American Studies program offers students diverse learning environments, and seeks to maximize opportunities for students to experience Latin America first-hand. The program stresses the development of a critical and informed view of Latin America, linguistic skills, independent research and writing abilities, and cultural sensitivity. This major program prepares students for work in the public and private sectors in Canada that deal with Latin American countries and cultures. Graduates may find work opportunities in the diplomatic and the civil service, business, journalism, teaching and tourism.

Students are strongly encouraged to combine the Latin American Studies Major with another major or minor and to take a semester of study at a Latin American university through one of the many exchange agreements that the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà maintains.
