Admission

Completion of any Level I program and a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including a grade of at least C in three units of Level I History; and successful completion of one of MATH 1A03 , 1LS3  or 1X03 ; and one of MATH 1AA3 , 1LT3 , or 1XX3  with a grade of at least C+ (see Note 7 below).

Notes

1. All students registered in an Honours History program must take HISTORY 2HI3  in Level II as part of their degree requirements (or 3 units of Level II History if HISTORY 1FF3  was completed in level 1).
2. Students must complete HISTORY 2HI3  before enrolling in a Level IV History seminar.
3. When registering, it is recommended that students distribute their required History courses (See Requirements below) as follows:
   ● Level II: HISTORY 2HI3 ; 9 units of Levels II or III History
   ● Level III: 12 units of Levels II or III History
   ● Level IV: 3 units of Levels II or III History; 6 units Level IV History. (No combined Honours student may take more than six units of Level IV seminars.)
4. Students considering a career in teaching are advised to take HISTORY 2T03  and HISTORY 2TT3 , as many schools of education require the equivalent of six units in a Canadian history survey course.
5. Students considering graduate work in History are strongly encouraged to include in their program a second language beyond the introductory level, as many graduate programs require proficiency in a second language.
6. MATH 1B03  must be completed by the end of Level II. Completion in Level I is strongly recommended. It is also recommended that students consider completing MATH 1C03  prior the end of Level II.
7. While MATH 1LS3  and 1LT3  may be used for consideration to Level II Mathematics and Statistics programs, students are strongly encouraged to take either MATH 1A03  and 1AA3 , or MATH 1X03  and 1XX3 , to ensure a sufficient background in content required for MATH 2X03 .

Requirements

120 units total (Levels I to IV), of which 48 units may be Level I
