Fields of Graduate Instruction - History

Admission Requirements: In the required career goals statement, the major country, topic and historical period of interest should be included. Students admitted provisionally must complete at least 9 hours of graduate courses making grades of A or B to be considered for full graduate standing.

Master's Degree Requirements: Master of Arts Degree in History: This program requires a total of 30 semester hours, including six hours for the thesis. Each student's program is tailored to enhance his or her career objectives. Social studies teachers, for example, may earn advanced competency on completion of the M.A. in history with additional course work in education. Similarly, students who plan to pursue a Ph.D. degree receive the requisite training and assistance. Master of Arts Degree in Public History: This non-thesis program requires 36 credit hours of course work. Half the hours fall in historical studies, the rest in applied history classes, including innovative courses in archival and special collections management, paper conservation, documentary editing, museum studies, and historic preservation. Students may select practicums in their own special areas of interest -- including archival management, historic site administration, museology, historic preservation, and historical publications.

Student Financial Support: Graduate assistantships and fellowships are available to students in both programs and are awarded by open competition.

Other Relevant Information: Application deadline is January 1; students are admitted for the fall semester only. The general portion of the GRE is required for those seeking admission to both the history and public history programs. No subject test is required for either program.
