History - Bachelor of Arts

History at MacEwan University is a Bachelor of Arts major that develops research and critical-thinking skills through the study of the past. Students learn to gather and organize evidence, analyze complex historical issues, and communicate findings clearly, working across a range of time periods and regions that includes topics such as crime in early modern Europe, diplomacy and conflict in the modern world, and policy affecting Indigenous peoples in Canada. The degree requires 120 non-duplicative credits, structured over a four-year suggested course sequence combining History major coursework with the Bachelor of Arts core and electives. The program suits students preparing for further graduate study, teaching, archival or museum work, law, journalism, public policy, or other fields that value analytical writing and evidence-based argument. Course offerings and sequencing options are set out in the university's program and course calendar.
