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.
Notes
When registering, it is recommended that students distribute their required History courses (see Requirements below) as follows:
Level II: 12 units from Level II or III History
Level III: 12 units Levels II or III History
Level IV: 3 units Level II or III History; 6 units Level IV History. (No combined Honours student may take more than six units of Level IV seminars.)
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.
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.
The Faculty of Humanities introduced a new requirement for all Humanities degree students starting in 2024-25. The Skills for Life Concurrent Certificate comprises 18 units that provide a foundation for students to develop important academic and career-relevant skills such as oral and written communication, critical thinking, and digital literacy. The mandatory requirements below assume successful completion of HUMAN 1DL3, HUMAN 1HL3 and HUMAN 1VV3 in Humanities 1. Students transferring to Humanities programs beyond Level 1 are exempt from the concurrent certificate. Please see Faculty of Humanities Academic Regulations for more information.
Requirements
Students who entered Combined History and Another Subject (B.A.) prior to September 2025 should refer to the Undergraduate Calendar of their entry year and their individual advisement report for their program requirements.
120 units total (Levels I to IV), of which 48 units may be Level I
