Description:

Our PhD in History program is part of the Tri-University Graduate Program in History, a partnership of Laurier, the University of Waterloo and the University of Guelph. This collaboration makes it possible for you to access the scholarship and experience of more than 65 graduate faculty and the resources of three universities. The integration of history departments makes this program one of the biggest graduate history programs in Canada, while retaining the small classes and supportive student-professor relationships associated with History at Laurier.

Other innovative features of our program include a first-year professional development seminar and a presentation of a portion of your dissertation in a colloquium setting.

Our program emphasizes teaching skills, and most eligible doctoral students have the opportunity in their fourth year to teach a course of their own, with mentorship from a faculty member.
