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 major 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.
