History

The Department of History at the University of Toronto, St. George, is one of the largest history departments in North America, with dozens of faculty members teaching courses that span the globe and cover millennia of human (and non-human) history. Our courses inform you about the place you live, about the world, and about the ways the past has shaped the present.  

On top of our History Specialist, Major, and Minor Programs, we also offer a Focus in Law and History that can enhance your base History degree. This focus recognizes ways that laws shape history – and that history shapes laws.
