WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
UBC Okanagan offers a world-class, globally recognized degree at a smaller and more intimate campus.
Students can generally expect smaller class sizes and greater access to their professors, while gaining the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research and projects.
History and Sociology at UBC Okanagan offers students the opportunity to work with faculty recognized nationally and internationally for their scholarship in the fields of migration, labour, surveillance, science and technology, the environment, digital humanities, and race and ethnicity.
