Overview

In the History program of University of New Brunswick, students develop invaluable critical reading, professional writing and advanced analytical skills while exploring this endlessly fascinating discipline.

Program highlights

Roughly half our graduate students choose to study Canadian History, and many focus on regional topics in Atlantic Canada. These subjects are facilitated by access to our associated research centers, The Atlantic Canada Studies Centre and the Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society. UNB history graduates go on to find rewarding careers in archives, museums, cultural institutions, public service, the private sector, and in tenured faculty positions at universities. Currently, the History Department has approximately 45 MA and PhD candidates, but there are generally more than 55 active students.
