The History (BA) program at the University of Waterloo provides students with a comprehensive understanding of historical events, societies, and cultures from ancient times to the present. Objectives include developing critical thinking, research skills, and analytical abilities through the study of diverse historical themes. Unique features include the option for co-operative education (co-op), which allows students to gain practical work experience in fields like archives, museums, and government, making it one of the few history programs in Canada with this integration.
Graduates are well-prepared for diverse careers in education, public policy, heritage management, law, journalism, and business. The co-op experience enhances employability by providing hands-on opportunities and networking.
The program is supported by faculty experts in areas such as Canadian history, international relations, and environmental history, including professors recognized for their research contributions to public history and digital humanities.
Students have access to the university's extensive library collections, including rare books and digital archives, as well as partnerships with local historical societies and the Waterloo Region Museum for experiential learning and research opportunities.
