MA graduates from our department have pursued careers in business and law, politics, journalism, government service, teaching, museums and archives, to name only some of the general areas in which history graduates may be found. Some MA students choose a graduate program in history for no other reason than that they enjoy the study of history and realize that it can enhance their understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. For others, the Tri-University MA in history may also be seen as an opportunity to test their ability in a graduate program or to see if they have an interest in pursuing a Ph.D. degree, or perhaps through a Teaching Assistantship to sample the experience of participating in the teaching of university level courses. The Tri-University MA offers you the prospect of being part of an exciting program built on the strength of three of Ontario’s finest universities. History at the University of Waterloo offers recognized excellence in research and in teaching. Diverse learning experiences emphasize innovative thematic approaches, as captured in our undergraduate specializations.
