Undergraduate History at 911³Ô¹Ï

Four streams to guide your path

We organize our courses into four broad streams, and encourage you to sample across them:

• Africa, Asia, and the Middle East

• The Americas

• Europe

• Global / Comparative

Programs you can pursue

• Major

• Minor

• Extended Minor

• Honours

• Joint Major

Majors and Honours take courses across multiple streams to ensure a strong global foundation.

What you’ll study

You’ll mix regional surveys with thematic and methods courses—social, political, cultural, economic, and more. Build a focus if you wish (for example: African, Asian, British, Canadian, Middle Eastern, or pre-/modern European history) while still thinking across regions and periods.

Optional concentrations

Interested in a deeper focus? We offer formal optional concentrations in these areas:

• Middle East and Islamic History Concentration
• British and Irish History Concentration
• Early Modern History Concentration

Students in a Major, Minor, Extended Minor, Joint Major, or Honours can complete a concentration as part of their degree. Ask our advisor for details, or check the 911³Ô¹Ï Calendar (click on your degree program and scroll to the end to find the concentrations).

How you’ll learn

Small tutorials and senior seminars centre discussion and presentations. You’ll practice research and writing at every level, with accessible instructors who support your growth.

Degree options and flexibility

Most students complete a Bachelor of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, but History pairs well with programs across 911³Ô¹Ï. A BA requires one major, two extended minors, or two minors—so you can shape a degree that fits your goals.
