History at Crandall
In Crandall’s History program, students will learn how to think historically about the people, events, and ideas that continue to shape our world.

Students will have the privilege of being taught by instructors who are highly educated from the top Universities in North America and the U.K., specializing in a variety of unique historical genres. Some of the compelling course topics include Women in Early Modern Britain, History in Film, The Rise of Christianity, and Indigenous Peoples of Canada.
