What you studyHistoryHistoryHistoryNorth and South American Studies
What it isHistory at Toronto Metropolitan is the study of past human societies, events, and ideas — how people lived, what they believed, and why things changed over time. Unlike a straight history program, you can choose to include a co-op stream, which alternates your classroom semesters with paid work terms at archives, museums, government offices, or heritage organizations. This suits students who want to test whether historical work in the real world appeals to them before committing fully to the field.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?"History at Brock is the study of past human societies, events, and ideas, and how they shape the world today. You'll analyze primary sources, examine different interpretations of historical events, and develop research and writing skills. This program includes optional work terms where you apply historical thinking to jobs in archives, museums, government, or cultural organizations.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.
