Program Overview

Are you ready to uncover our global challenges? Or, discover how the past can provide insight on the human experience?

When you choose to study history at Brescia, you will gain a personal perspective into the events that have shaped our past and research how our world may advance in the future. Explore women’s influence on history, discover environmental impacts on a worldly scale or understand Canada’s political, economic and social history – in Brescia’s history program, you decide! Under the guidance of your dedicated and academically-recognized professors, you will enhance your critical thinking, research and writing skills through a variety of dynamic courses, including:

Food in World History, Editorial Cartoons in Canadian History: Skewering by Sketch and Midwives, Madonnas, Witches and Whores: Women in Early Modern Europe, 1500 to 1700.

Your history experience doesn’t end in the classroom. Outside the classroom, you can continue your expedition into world history by exploring local archives, historical sites and national parks. These experiences will rouse your curiosity and support new relationships with members of the Brescia and London community.
