Program details
Overview
The History program at Queen's is offered through Specialization, Major, Minor, and General plans, letting students build expertise in a chosen historical area or period across a wide range of topics and themes. Specialization and Major students undertake intensive training in historical research and writing, combining lecture courses with small seminar classes, with options for independent research courses and internships. First-year courses introduce broad overviews of the intellectual origins of the modern West, global historical processes, and Canadian history, while second-year and upper-year seminars provide in-depth training in historical methods, analytical thinking, and writing. Students may pursue a Double Major, combining a History Major with a Major in another Arts, Humanities, or Science discipline, and Specialists and Majors may add a Minor from across the Faculty of Arts and Science. Degree plan options were revised for students entering from Fall 2025, with the Faculty of Arts and Science Academic Calendar holding the current plan requirements.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Queen's Faculty of Arts and Science admits humanities and social-science applicants under the Arts admission category (QA), which covers Bachelor of Arts (Honours) plans such as Classics, Classical Studies, History, Philosophy, Political Studies, Politics Philosophy and Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Linguistics, Indigenous Studies, Film and Media, the modern-language plans (German Studies, Hispanic Studies, Italian, Spanish and Latin American Studies, World Language Studies, Languages Literatures and Cultures), Jewish Studies, and Environmental Studies (Arts), as well as Economics (listed separately as QAE with identical requirements). Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need six 4U/4M courses: English 4U is the only mandatory subject, and the remaining five courses may be at either the 4U or 4M level. Recent admission cycles have required a low-80s overall average for this category. Applicants apply through the OUAC and submit official transcripts; applicants whose first language is not English must also meet Queen's English Language Proficiency requirement.
