History

The best preparation for teaching history is a BA degree or equivalent Honours degree in History. Courses are to be chosen in consultation with a Faculty of Education adviser and/or the subject course director.

Candidates for junior/intermediate must complete a total of 24 credits. Courses should include at least six credits in Canadian history, but an additional six credits in Canadian history is strongly recommended. Normally these would include introductory courses such as AS/HIST 2500 6.00 and AS/HIST 3531 6.00 or AS/HIST 3533 6.00.

Candidates for intermediate/senior must complete a total of 36 credits for a first teaching subject and 24 credits for a second teaching subject. Courses should include at least six credits in Canadian history, but an additional six credits in Canadian history is strongly recommended. Normally these would include introductory courses such as AS/HIST 2500 6.00 and AS/HIST 3531 6.00 or AS/HIST 3533 6.00.

In addition, candidates for Intermediate/Senior should take at least one course which prepares them to teach in three of the following areas of history: Developing World, European, Ancient World, American history. Courses in these areas could include: AS/HIST 3730 6.00, AS/HIST 2750 6.00, AS/HIST 2300 6.00, AS/HIST 3350 6.00, AS/HIST 2100 6.00, AS/HIST 3130 6.00, AS/HIST 2600 6.00, or AS/HIST 4830 6.00.
