Program Details

History School: Mount Allison University Faculty: Faculty of Arts Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: History, General Description: As both a literary art and social science, history is an ideal instrument of liberal education. Defined as “the rational study of the significant past”, it develops analytical and communication skills, fosters knowledge and understanding of the institutions, ideas, groups and individuals which have shaped our political, social, and cultural world, and contributes to reflective, articulate citizenship in a free, tolerant and humane society. History is also an excellent preparation for a large number of career choices as well as a pleasurable intellectual pursuit that will last a lifetime. The Mount Allison History Department offers a rich variety of both subject matter and interpretative approach. Individualized programs are designed to achieve both coherence and depth. Courses are regularly available at all levels in most major periods of Canadian, American, and European history. Introductory courses in Chinese and Japanese history may also be available to complement the regular program. Together, they reflect a wide range of faculty interest – from politics, constitutional development, and relations between nations to social, cultural, and intellectual movements.
