The U of T Mississauga History program is designed to give its students a wide-ranging perspective on Canada and the world through reflection on the past, both recent and distant. The department provides a diverse and global curriculum, with faculty offering a range of specialized expertise on Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe. The curriculum is also characterized by sets of thematic emphases that include imperialism, colonialism and nationalism, culture and society, religion, the environment, source criticism, labour, gender, ethnicity, war and politics.
History is an ancient discipline, but its modern practitioners are often by necessity interdisciplinary and are frequently positioned at the crossroads of the humanities and social sciences. U of T Mississauga's historians actively participate in a variety of interdisciplinary programs, including Canadian Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, European Studies, Industrial Relations, Medieval Studies, Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, and the Study of Women and Gender.
A concentration in history can provide students with the critical-thinking and communication skills required to excel in a number of professions. The student of history is in a position to pursue a diversity of career paths from academic research and teaching to media, law, journalism and government service.
A fuller description of the History program is available online at www.utm.utoronto.ca/historicalstudies. This website provides detailed information on course outlines, timetabling and program requirements. It also contains faculty profiles with research interests and publications.
100 and 200 entry-level courses provide intensive introductions to the history of areas and periods; these are typically conducted as a combination of lecture and tutorial; 300- and 400-level courses focus on more specialized or thematic topics. 400-level courses are offered as seminars, allowing students opportunities for collaborative discussion, independent research, and oral presentations.
The department encourages students to take advantage of the various study abroad opportunities available at UTM.
In the major and specialist programs, language courses offered by the Department of Language Studies at U of T Mississauga and by the various departments teaching languages on the St. George campus may be substituted for up to 1.0 History credits. These courses must be relevant for the student’s coursework in History, and will be substituted at the same level as they are offered (e.g., a language at the 200-level will be substituted for a History credit at the 200-level, and a language at the 300-level will be substituted for a History credit at the 300-level). Students are invited to contact the Academic Counsellor for further information.
