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 the major. Check with the History academic advisor to ensure that all requirements are met.
3. Students pursuing the co-op system are strongly recommended to complete two of HIST 203, HIST 302, HIST 303.

Honours Double Majors

Honours History may be taken in combination with most Arts majors in which an honours major is offered or with many honours majors in other faculties. For further information, see the double majors section of Available Arts Academic Plans.
