Cert in Certificat en histoire

This Certificate in History at Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi is a 30-credit, on-campus program with admission in fall and winter terms. The program surveys the major periods of human history from antiquity to more recent eras, taking an open, methodical look at society, politics, economy, and culture across the human experience. It treats historical knowledge as both a foundational form of education and a practical tool, on the premise that a sound understanding of the past supports a proper understanding of the present. The 30-credit curriculum combines seven required courses with three elective courses chosen from the department's history offerings. Admission is open to DEC holders, to applicants who have completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of at least 2.3 on 4.3, and to applicants able to show sufficient college-level preparation for university study, supported by a transcript, a letter of interest, and justification of relevant experience, with a possible interview. The certificate can stand alone or feed into further undergraduate study in history.
