History Honours Information

Why do honours?

The honours program provides you with the opportunity to study history in greater breadth and depth. In the fourth year the emphasis is on reading and research and there are fewer lectures and exams. Honours History also provides the grounding necessary for admission to graduate and professional studies, and is increasingly the standard in other areas.
