What you will study

All programs must be approved by the Graduate Adviser to ensure balance and focus in the program of each student.

Not all of the History graduate courses listed in the calendar will be offered in a particular year.

Application information

Entry requirements

In addition to reference letters and transcripts required by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, students must send a letter to the Graduate Adviser in the History department outlining their particular area of interest within the field of History and their proposed thesis or final project topic. This letter need not be more than a page long. It will assist the department in determining whether or not it can provide appropriate supervision.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Many graduate programs have three entry points: September, January and May; entry points and deadlines are listed on each program overview page.

The application fee is $145.25 if all documents originate within Canada and $187.00 if any originate outside Canada, payable online by credit card.
