The history program at Athabasca University will help you see contemporary events in broader historical contexts, explain changing social attitudes as the result of specific contexts and events, recognize the ways knowledge is socially constructed and sanctioned
interpret historical evidence, assessing for possible bias. AU offers a wide variety of history courses, with strengths in Europe and North America, and a growing number of courses on global history and the history of Africa.
The Bachelor of Arts strengthens critical and creative thinking through a broad range of social, political and cultural studies. The program is designed to broaden your perspective on local and global affairs,
encourage community and social involvement and prepare you for lifelong learning and occupational diversity. |
