brocku.ca/history

Historians explore changes in past societies, cultures and peoples. They examine cultural, artistic, political, economic, intellectual, social, military and national history. Their interests range from the history of individuals and local communities to studies of nations and international relations. They analyze the causes and consequences of significant change over time. They seek to illuminate the past.

The study of history involves surveying and gathering evidence and evaluating, interpreting and refining it by constructing clear and logical arguments on the basis of that evidence.

Within the requirements indicated under the Honours program and Pass program, the Department allows students considerable flexibility in the selection of HIST courses.

To assist students in refining their analytical and critical skills, weekly seminars are a crucial part of every history course. In many courses individual students are given the responsibility of organizing and leading discussions on particular topics.

The Department of History recommends combining History with other disciplines, such as Child and Youth Studies, Classics, Communication Studies, Economics, English Language and Literature, Geography, Labour Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Women's Studies and languages.

To qualify for admission to year 4 (honours), students must have a minimum 70 major average and approval of the Department. The application deadline is March 1 of the preceding academic year. Students wishing to apply for admission must meet with the Humanities Academic Adviser prior to the application deadline. See the Department for additional information.

History and Labour Studies-George Brown College

This program involves courses offered through Brock and George Brown College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines courses and training in applied labour studies settings at George Brown College with a degree in History and Labour Studies at Brock. The program caters to individuals who wish to have a career in a wide variety of areas including unionized environments, occupational health and safety, politics, or human resources. The program allows students to gain both solid applied skills in these areas, and a strong theoretical knowledge about a variety of these topics. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this program will be granted both a degree from Brock, and two certificates from George Brown College 1) a certificate in Contemporary Labour Perspectives from the George Brown School of Labour, and 2) a Post-Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Management. Gaining both a degree and these certificates would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and George Brown program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.

Please consult the Labour Studies entry for a listing of program requirements.

History and Labour Studies-Mohawk College

This program involves courses offered through Brock University and Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines training in a variety of applied labour studies settings at Mohawk College with an honours degree in History and Labour Studies at Brock. Students can obtain both solid applied skills and a strong theoretical foundation in various aspects of labour studies. The program leads to career opportunities in a wide variety of areas including unionized environments, occupational health and safety, politics, and human resources. Obtaining both an honours degree and a college certificate would ordinarily involve at least five years of study, but this Brock-Mohawk program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.

Please consult the Labour Studies entry for a listing of program requirements.
