Second year History and Politics were offered beginning in 1965. All classes were offered at Beaverbrook House until 1969 when the Faculty of Arts moved to Sir Douglas Hazen Hall on the Tucker Park campus.
In subsequent years, History and Politics at UNBSJ grew separately within the Arts faculty. By 1975, eight courses were offered in Political Science and eleven courses were offered in History.
