History at Kwantlen Polytechnic University
The study of History is an essential part of every student's education. History students learn to think critically and creatively, to evaluate many different viewpoints, and to apply their knowledge of the past to produce an informed and articulate analysis of contemporary global issues. We do not expect that every student will pursue a degree in history; rather, we hope that the skills learned in our courses will contribute to a deeper understanding of today's world.
Degree Options in History at Kwantlen:
- Bachelor of Arts, Major in History
- Bachelor of Arts, Minor in History

- University Transfer Courses

Comments on the NEW BA History Major (from our external evaluation team):
"... we found this to be a model of public education at the tertiary level, with dedicated teachers and administrators, a careful process of planning, consultation, and review, and bright and engaged students who clearly felt that KUC and the History Department have been serving their education needs ..."
"The expert review panel was impressed by the logical development and academic rigor of the proposed degree ... and the extensive consultation the institution undertook and incorporated in the development of the proposal."
"We find this program meets or exceeds the standards of history majors in BC and, to our experience, in major universities world-wide."
