What it is	History 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?"	A Bachelor of Arts is a three- or four-year undergraduate degree where you study subjects in the humanities, social sciences, or sciences — at Laurier Brantford, that means choices like English, anthropology, computer science, creative writing, or environmental studies. You can focus on one major or combine two. This program suits students who want broad knowledge across disciplines and enjoy writing, analysis, and critical thinking rather than hands-on lab or professional training.
