History
Suggested Schedule for High School Entrants - Fall 2025
The number of courses you take in your first term is up to you. We normally suggest you start with 4 courses as this will help with your transition to university level study. You can always reach out to an advisor if you need help deciding.
The courses suggested below are for students entering SFU directly from high school who plan to major in History. If you are transferring from a university or college we recommend that you meet with an advisor prior to enrolment to discuss your course selection.
1. Africa, Asia & the Middle East
2. The Americas
3. Europe
- Not available in Fall
4. Global/Comparative
Electives
In addition, we suggest you take 1 or 2 elective courses* in your first term. While these can be in any program area, you may wish to take:
- one or more of your breadth requirements (B-Hum, B-Soc, B-Sci), or
- courses that count towards Social Studies teaching requirements (if you are considering secondary school teaching). Refer to the PDP chart of acceptable courses for suggestions.
*For some additional elective course suggestions, check out the FASS Fall 2025 lower division elective list
