When you choose history
On the application or after — the Bachelor of Arts (PA, 70% minimum) is a genuinely undeclared door, and you choose a major from the twenty inside it.
What to watch for
History is a major inside the Bachelor of Arts. A separate History with Orientation to a Master of Arts (PAH) has its own code at an 80% minimum and is limited enrolment, where Nipissing says the 'admission average required may be higher than the minimum'. Nipissing admits to the Bachelor of Arts as one OUAC code, PA, at a 70% minimum, and nearly every arts major is chosen inside it rather than applied to separately. Only Criminal Justice (PAJ) and History with Orientation to a Master's (PAH, 80%, limited enrolment) have their own codes. Nipissing's own concurrent-education listings describe the BA entry as 'Undeclared'.
