M.A.- History

Format: Campus, Online

Program Description:

The MA degree in History is designed for the History student intending to continue on for Ph.D. work in History, for the secondary teacher who desires to take graduate work concentrating in the content area of History, and for the History student intending to pursue a career in public history. Other students also may find the program suitable, depending on their individual aspirations.
The MA degree in History concentrates on three types of learning. The first of these is simple factual knowledge of history: students should enter the program with good undergraduate preparation in this regard, but MA work should add depth in areas of specialty and breadth in other areas. The second type of learning is historiographic: students should learn how historians have interpreted the historical record and given it meaning through time. The third type of learning is methodological: students should learn how to conduct original research and compose the historical essay, as well as other conventional forms of scholarly writing in History.
