Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Arts in History, offered through the Faculty of Arts, builds research, analysis, and writing skills through study of regions including Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, Asia, Canada, and Europe, medieval and modern periods, and specialty areas such as intellectual, cultural, political, economic, Indigenous, women's, and diplomatic history; sample courses cover topics from the history of disease and food to capitalism and Latin American revolutions. The degree is offered as a three-year General program (90 credit hours), a four-year Advanced program (120 credit hours), or a four-year Honours program (120 credit hours, minimum 3.00 GPA); an 18-credit-hour minor and a co-op option are also available, alongside general education requirements in humanities, social sciences, sciences, English, and mathematics. Delivered at the Fort Garry campus with part-time study available, it suits students developing strong writing and analytical skills for careers in law, teaching, editing, archival and museum work, journalism, or heritage and cultural agencies, or for graduate study via the Honours route.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Faculty of Arts admission (applies to all BA majors; no History-specific admission requirement). Direct Entry (Manitoba high school students, fewer than 24 post-secondary credit hours): minimum average of 70% over English 40S, Mathematics 40S, and two academic 40S courses, with no less than 60% in each course. Advanced Entry (24+ post-secondary credit hours): minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (C). BA General requires 90 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.00 in History courses; BA Advanced requires 120 credit hours (at least 48 in History, 18 in a minor) with a minimum GPA of 2.00; BA Honours requires 120 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 3.00; both Advanced and Honours are normally applied for after 24 credit hours. Meeting these minimums does not guarantee admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
