What it is	A History BA teaches you how to research, analyze, and interpret past events and societies using primary sources and historical methods. The iBA (International Bachelor of Arts) option lets you study history while spending part of your degree abroad, gaining international experience alongside your coursework. Co-op is available, meaning you can complete paid work terms with employers in museums, archives, heritage organizations, or education sectors during your degree. This program suits students curious about how societies change over time and interested in developing research and critical thinking skills applicable beyond academia.	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.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.
