Notes

1. Students may use no more than two HIST courses at the 100-level to fulfil History plan requirements.
2. History students in all plans are required to have: at least one course focused on Canadian history, at least one course focused on pre-1800 history, and at least one course focused on post-1800 history. These requirements will usually (but not always) be satisfied as a student advances through their program. Check with the History academic advisor to ensure that all requirements are met.
3. Students pursuing the departmental co-op option are strongly recommended to complete two of HIST 203, HIST 302, HIST 303.
