Please Note

  • Each course is one semester long.
  • Some courses are offered in both the fall and winter semesters; some are offered twice in a single semester; some courses are offered once.
  • HST courses largely are open to all students, mainly as liberal studies courses, but they also function as program courses (with restrictions) to students in History, ACS, and in the History Minor.
  • HIS courses are open to History, ACS, and other Arts students as well as students taking History as a Minor and in other programs that list particular HIS courses on their Professionally Related tables. Sometimes students interested in these courses who otherwise would be ineligible to take them can be accommodated beyond these limits.
  • A number of courses that were listed as HST courses in previous years are being renumbered as HIS courses as of 2012- 13.
  • For additional Ryerson courses in History, check the website of the G. Raymond Chang School for Continuing Education for its offerings for both on-campus evening sections and distance education opportunities beyond those courses that the Department of History plans to present. The Chang School presents History courses in the spring and summer as well as during the autumn and winter semesters.
  • The Department of History participates actively in the Arts and Contemporary Studies program, and some of its faculty teach ACS courses that have strong historical foci, such as the “Ideas that Shaped the World” series.
  • Some other departments at Ryerson offer historically themed courses; students may consult the calendar for additional opportunities that might appeal to them.
  • This list is subject to change in terms of either adding or deleting courses, or shifting the terms in which they are offered or on assigning instructors.

For more information, contact Ms Anne-Marie Donovan at adonovan@ryerson.ca or at 416 979-5000, ext. 2691.
