| What it is | A four-year Bachelor of Arts in History means you study the past — events, people, societies, and how they shaped the world — through reading primary sources, analyzing interpretations, and writing essays. Unlike a shorter history diploma or certificate, this degree gives you time to specialize in particular periods or regions and develop research skills expected in graduate study or professional work. It suits people who enjoy reading, debate, and asking "why did things happen this way?" | Canadian Studies is the in-depth examination of Canada's history, culture, politics, and society, drawing on historical research and comparative perspectives from across North America. Unlike a straight history program, it situates Canadian topics within broader continental contexts, so you explore what makes Canada distinct and connected to the US and Latin America. This program suits students who want to understand Canada deeply but also appreciate how regional and international forces have shaped it. | Art History is the study of paintings, sculpture, architecture, and other visual works from different cultures and time periods, along with understanding the historical contexts that shaped them. Unlike studio art programs, you focus on analysis and interpretation rather than creating art yourself. This program suits students who want to understand how art reflects society and are comfortable writing essays and doing research. |
