Major in History within the Bachelor of Arts 
Both the three-year and the four-year Bachelor of Arts with a major in History provide a breadth of exposure to the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Students learn about the complex forces that have shaped and continue to shape the world around us. These degrees prepare students well for any area of employment or vocation with valuable skillsâ€"communication, writing, analytical thinking, critical thinking, and organizing. A three- or a four-year B.A. in History prepares students for careers in government, journalism, archival work, and education.
Major in History within the 4-year Bachelor of Arts
A four-year major will give the added advantage of at least 6 more courses in the area of History and the opportunity to take more upper â€"level courses. More general elective space means that the students can readily include a minor in a second field of interest. Furthermore, the four-year major in History can provide the basis from which to apply for admission to M.A. programs in History. The four-year degree is becoming the standard undergraduate expectation across North America.
Major in Humanities within the 4-year Bachelor of Arts
This interdisciplinary major in Humanities gives students grounding in the core humanities disciplines of History, Philosophy, and English Literature. It will provide for a flexible combination of these and other humanities interests across disciplinary lines. This degree is ideal for students interested in careers in government, education, journalism, and Law.
