Overview
The Public History program at Brandon University trains students to work with museums, historic sites, archives, and other institutions that present history to the public, covering the practical and theoretical foundations of the field. Core courses include Introduction to Public History, Understanding Archives, Museums, Public History in Canada, Oral History, and the Practice of Public History. Students gain real-world experience through collaboration with local museums and historic sites, building research, exhibit-development, and historical-interpretation skills that apply directly to public history work or further graduate study. The program sits within Brandon University's History Department, drawing on the department's broader historical curriculum while giving students a sequence oriented toward archival, museum, and community-facing historical work. Full degree requirements are set out in Brandon University's Course Calendar.
