Description:

Facilities are available for graduate work in Canadian, European, British, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and Chinese history. Courses are divided into geographical and topical. Geographical courses are designed to cover major historiographical issues over a broad chronological period, within the various geographical areas: Canadian, British, American, European, and Asian. Topical courses examine secondary literature on a significant topical theme such as social, military, intellectual/cultural, gender/women's, First Nations, religious, world, or business history and cover various geographical areas and chronological periods. They relate to the particular themes that the student will pursue in his/her Ph.D. dissertation. The courses taken help to prepare students for the comprehensive written and oral examinations.
