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.	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.	This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.
