What will I learn?

History is the study of past individuals and groups, processes and events, and ideas and institutions. Historians care for and interpret the past by examining a variety of evidence from written, oral, material, and visual sources. We attempt to understand change by paying close attention to the complexities and injustices of the past. As a history student, you will explore lives of figures whose work has stimulated large scale and permanent change in the way that we think about the world around us.You will also study the everyday experiences of people who worked to secure their own livelihoods and shape their own destinies. Our courses will offer opportunities to study inter-cultural encounters and how different societies at different times thought about race, gender, and class. You will be encouraged to think critically about the historical legacies of colonization and decolonization, as well as other forms of oppression and resistance.This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year, 4-year, or Honours). Students taking an undergraduate degree in another Major may choose to add a Minor in History as a secondary area of interest. We also offer a joint Master’s program with the University of Manitoba.
