Program Details

History School: Bishop's University Faculty: Humanities Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: History, General Description: Historical knowledge serves an individual and society the way memory does. An understanding of the past gives one perspective and insight into the world in which we live, and presents students with the almost limitless range of alternatives of how humans have organized their lives. In an increasingly compartmentalized and specialized world, historical study is one of the best ways to promote an ability to synthesize information and retain the larger picture. In addition, the ability to engage in research, to evaluate evidence, and to present conclusions in a reasoned and coherent way, is invaluable assets for graduates entering the workforce. Traditionally, history graduates have gone on to teaching, journalism, law or graduate studies in history, archival studies, museology, international affairs, and public administration. History graduates fare well in today's knowledge-driven economy because of their well-honed communication and research skills. Many recent graduates are now employed in the private sector, often in communications capacities.
