History University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC)

UNBC history courses focus on a wide range of themes and continents, and will help you make sense of current events. How can we understand issues facing the Middle East, Latin America, the European Union, or Canada without knowing how those societies developed? And how can we understand questions of nationalism, inequality, or climate change without learning about how humans have created or confronted these issues over time?

Our Teaching Objectives:

• To develop critical skills required to full and active citizenship
• To foster independent learning through a variety of research and study techniques
• To include students in faculty’s research through research assistantships
• To encourage the application of skills in community involvement and employment
• To increase students’ understanding of the emergence of the modern world, with particular emphasis on themes related to UNBC’s mandate

The skills and the knowledge learned through the study of history makes us better citizens of democratic societies and informed members of a global community.
Our undergraduate and graduate courses will strengthen your critical thinking and analysis, help you carry out your own research, and foster writing and other communicative skills.

History courses prepare students to excel in many careers, including in teaching, law, journalism, the civil service, politics, museums, libraries and archives, and universities. Visit our careers page for a much larger selection of careers for students of history.
