Geographic Distribution
History courses are grouped into three Geographic areas as outlined below. Specialist and Majors are required to choose courses from each of the three areas to fulfill geographic breadth requirements. In order to help students with planning their studies, courses have been listed according to their Geographic area.
Geographic Area a): Africa/Asia/Middle East
Geographic Area b): Canada/United States/Latin America/The Caribbean
Geographic Area c): Europe
Thematic Streams
Although thematic streams are not an official program requirement, you may find it enriching to follow a particular theme across different time periods or geographical divisions.
The following thematic streams indicate a few well-defined areas, but other thematic possibilities exist as well, such as "Race" and Ethnic Relations, or Popular and Material Culture. For further information, consult the Associate Chair, Undergraduate.
