Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts in History, available as a three-year or four-year degree, delivered on campus in Calgary, Alberta. It covers historical events, processes, and ideas across time and place, with an emphasis on analyzing change and continuity and interpreting the past from multiple perspectives, while developing skills in communication, research, problem-solving, and independent and team-based work. A required Public History course includes a practicum component in which students gain work experience in museums or archives. Separate program guides exist for the three-year and four-year pathways. It suits students interested in teaching, law, museum or archival work, international affairs, journalism, public administration, or graduate study in history, who want a grounding in historical analysis alongside direct, practicum-based exposure to heritage-sector work.
