Bachelor of Arts - History - Multidisciplinary - Secondary Education

The study of history contributes in important ways to the development of the individual as both public and private citizen.

The study of history also refines self-identity through the collective memory that serves to place us in the stream of time and connect us to the people and events that shaped our world.
