History / Political Science at University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) at Main

The Department of History offers Master of Arts degrees in a two-year program. The major areas of study are North America, Europe, and Latin America with emphasis on Aboriginal, northern, gender, and environmental history. Students are encouraged to contact an appropriate supervisor before applying to the program and to develop a research project through this contact with members of the department.

University of Northern British Columbia MA has two streams. In the first year of the program, all students take three seminars in their areas of interest as well as two courses in historiography and research methods. In the second year of the program, students may choose between writing an MA thesis or carrying out a creative project.

Besides literacy and numeracy, citizenship and diplomacy are fundamental skills needed to achieve a good quality of life. Citizenship includes both the rights and duties of membership in a political community. Diplomacy is the art and practice of reaching agreements through negotiation. A healthy democracy requires the active and informed participation of its citizens, but this is only possible with a good understanding of its political institutions, processes and issues. Political Science is the discipline devoted to the systematic investigation of citizenship and diplomacy in local, national and international communities.

To achieve its purposes, the Department of Political Science offers the opportunity to study political philosophy, comparative politics, Canadian government, international politics and public administration. The latter field is offered in the Local Government Administration Certificate, which focuses on municipal and local government administration.
