Program details
Overview
The Honours History programme at St. Jerome's University, federated with the University of Waterloo, is a four-year Bachelor of Arts that examines the human past with an emphasis on modern Canadian history and medieval history. Students study people, nations, landscapes, ideas, events, politics, and religion, together with social constructs such as race, gender, class, age, and ethnicity, across a range of periods and regions. The Honours option requires a greater concentration of history courses than the General stream, building deeper research, writing, and critical-analysis skills through sustained work with primary and secondary sources. This depth of study prepares graduates for direct entry into graduate programmes in history or related humanities fields, as well as careers in education, law, public service, archives, and journalism.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (or equivalent) with a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M courses from a school accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education, including Grade 12 U English with a minimum grade of 70%. Applicants whose most recent four years of full-time education were not completed in an English-language school system must also submit an English language proficiency test score. Admission to St. Jerome's University follows the same admissions process, application process, and document deadlines as the University of Waterloo.
