About Bachelor of Arts - History

History is the study of the past through a consideration of its remains. Historians collect and study historical materials, interpret their content, assess their value as sources of information, and use what they have judged to be the most reliable of these to describe and explain what happened in the past.

History students learn what historians have discovered, but are also taught the historical method, and are encouraged to think critically about the past and its influence on the present. The program offers two interrelated streams: North American history (including the history of Canada) and European history.

The program includes courses on a wide variety of topics and themes, including women’s history, the history of education, intellectual history, the history of social movements, Indigenous history, environmental history, military history, the history of Northern Ontario, and medieval history.

Students in the fourth year of their program may undertake a major research project (HIST 4055) under a professor’s personal supervision; this may involve travel to archives in other cities to consult primary sources. The Department is home to a Research Chair in the History of French Ontario.
