History seeks to find out what human beings have done in the past.
By sifting and interpreting surviving evidence, historians create accounts of earlier civilizations, institutions, economies, and individuals, along with their ideas. For example, history has a vital role to play in the debate on the reform of Canadian Confederation. Historical studies offer additional benefits to you as a student. Many of the topics addressed in other disciplines have historical dimensions which, when comprehended, make for a fuller understanding of those disciplines. In terms of UCFV's offerings, one might mention the obvious compatibility in studying B.C. history along with B.C. geography or English history in conjunction with English literature and geography.
