Program Overview

Students will enter a year of seminar course work, followed by completion of a research thesis. Typically, students base their theses in archival research within Canada and abroad. While many students go on to train at the PhD level, others move into research consulting as well as work in public history, or use their skills to transition into professions such as teaching, law, or the public service.
