Program Description

The Concordia History Department's mission is both to train historians for careers in teaching and research and to produce informed graduates who share its commitment to serving the broader community. Our faculty's teaching and research strengths span the globe and our programs attract a stimulating mixture of students who reflect the cultural diversity of Montreal, Quebec, and Canada. Our students have won prestigious Commonwealth, Rhodes, Rockefeller and Social Sciences and Humanities Graduate Scholarships. Because the MA and PhD programs in History enable students to study on a part-time or full-time basis, our student body represents a wide cross-section of individuals, including younger students with recent undergraduate degrees, professionals and other working people who are returning to university from successful careers in the private and public sector. The diversity of our students reminds us that a breadth of vocational and geographic backgrounds has the potential to greatly enrich historical scholarship.

Special Programs or Resources

Concordia's History Department host to three research centers, all directed to our particular expertise in public history and human rights: the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, the Centre for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence, and the Montreal Institute for Genocide Studies.
