History is more than just a collection of names, dates, and events. In fact, History explains everything – our actions, our knowledge, and our decisions.
Through UNB’s History program, you’ll learn that everything we know, do, and sense comes from our interpretation of the past – and interpreting it well is essential to shaping our future. You’ll also learn that History is as diverse as humanity itself – past and present – and grows with every moment. Studying History will help you understand how and why change happens.
History at UNB offers a wide range of fascinating courses and concentrations taught by professors who have been recognized for cutting-edge research.
Our classes are intimate, the professors are friendly and accessible, the students are smart and motivated, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
