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.Chamber music is the study and performance of classical music written for small groups of instruments, typically three to eight players. You learn ensemble skills, musical interpretation, and the repertoire that defines this genre, going deeper into collaborative performance than a general music degree would. This suits musicians who want to develop as both soloists and team players in intimate musical settings.International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
