Bachelor of Arts in History (Honours) - International Relations

University of Waterloo

Studying history is about way more than memorizing dates and facts. You’ll learn to analyze historical events and think critically to understand different perspectives. Studying history exposes you to different traditions, cultures, and ways of thinking.Get ready to have animated discussions with a small, tight knit group of fellow historical buffs. Small classes will give you lots of opportunity to speak up and explore new ideas together. You’ll take a wide range of courses that let you focus on the events, themes, or historical time periods you’re most curious about. Then put your studies into practice with co op and build a professional network before even leaving school. A co op option gives you relevant (and paid) work experience before you graduate. Or join the Undergraduate History Society. Attend trivia nights (come on, all that memorizing in high school has to come in handy sometime), symposiums, and bonfires.
