Honours Bachelor of Arts in History Specialist (Co-op) - Scarborough

The study of History is vital for our understanding of the present. It offers multiple ways of explaining how the contemporary world emerged, and how past societies differed from our own. The History programs at UTSC provide a dynamic introduction to the global transformations that have taken place over the past two millennia, while also focusing on the experiences and contributions of ordinary people to these transformations. Our curriculum spans the history of all parts of the world in their complex, transnational connections, and covers a broad range of topics, including everyday life, colonialism, gender relations, the history of work, religion, the environment, urbanization, ideas, immigration, race and ethnicity, and material culture. Findings in history depend upon the precise evaluation of specific evidence, be it texts, images, or objects, and the History programs emphasize the critical reading, research, and writing skills which are necessary for the study of the past and for a wide range of professional activities beyond the university. Innovative and interdisciplinary, History courses play a part in a number of other programs, including Classics, Global Asia Studies, African Studies, Women and Gender Studies, and Food Studies, and can also complement and enhance courses in Politics, Philosophy, Literature, Arts, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, and Geography, among others.The Specialist (Co-op) Program in History is a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program that combines academic studies with paid work terms in the public, private, andor non-profit sectors. The program provides students with the opportunity to develop the academic and professional skills required to pursue employment in these areas, or to continue on to graduate training in an academic field related to History upon graduation.In addition to their academic course requirements, students must successfully complete the additive Arts & Science Co-op Work Term Preparation courses and a minimum of two Co-op work terms.
