HIST / POLS 258 Private Law in Canada
  
As a program and a collection of individuals we believe that the study of history provides our students with the tools to understand the past and how it continues to inform our present, and that the skills of an historian prepare history students to excel in many careers, including those in small business, teaching, law, journalism, the civil service, archives and universities.
 
 Our teaching objectives are to:
  • Increase understanding of the emergence of the modern world, with particular emphasis on themes related to UNBC’s mandate.
  • Develop critical skills required for full and active citizenship.
  • Foster independent learning through a variety of research and study techniques.
  • Encourage the application of skills in community involvement and employment.   

 
You can begin navigating our web site through the active links in the left hand column where you’ll find information on degree requirements, faculty information and contacts, and a series of testimonials from history graduates on how history helped set them on their ultimate career paths.
