Undergraduate studies

Our first-year courses all hone research/writing skills, serving as an “apprenticeship” for upper-level courses.
At the second-year level we have a number of broad-sweep survey courses, and these funnel into more specialized courses at the third-year level. Some courses are thematic -- for example, the history of film, of western medicine, of war; some are more regionally focused on the history of Newfoundland, or of Britain, for instance.
Our most advanced courses at the 4000-level are all seminars, with a maximum of 17 students to facilitate student participation.
