Deepen your knowledge of history, conduct original research and enhance your understanding of yourself and the world around you with the PhD in History program.

The program is part of the Tri-University History Program, which combines the collective strengths of the University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University, and Waterloo. 

With a distinguished faculty, world-class resources, and an unrivalled collaborative environment, the Tri-University PhD program offers an unparalleled interdisciplinary experience. You’ll experience the best of both an intimate departmental environment and the resources of one of Canada’s largest history graduate programs.  

Students will be admitted only after they have obtained a Master of Arts (MA) degree in which they have received at least an 83% standing. Only students who are graduates of accredited Universities and Colleges are eligible for admission. Since not all applicants can be admitted, close attention is paid to samples of applicants' written work, to applicants' transcripts and past record as a whole, and to their statement of research interests. Applications are considered by the Coordinating Committee of the Tri-University Graduate Program.
