In addition to the SFU general requirements, these are the lower division requirements for this major:
- 18 HIST credits at 100 and 200 level - Please consult BC Transfer Guide
A careful selection of lower division courses lays the foundation for specialization in specific upper division areas. For this reason, students should complete at least one course from at least three of the four lower division groups: the history of Africa, Asia, and Middle East; the history of the Americas; European history; and global/comparative history.
