MA IN HISTORY
ÃÛÌÒTV is one of relatively few academic institutions in the country that offers only a master's degree in History, rather than both the MA and PhD, and, as such, our master's students benefit from close relationships with faculty.
Thirty credits (10 courses) are required to complete the master's program. There is no thesis requirement, but opportunities to undertake original research projects are offered as part of regular courses. Students plan their course of study in consultation with a faculty advisor in one of the concentrations below.
Students must complete HIS 8850 - Theory and Methods. No course may be applied to more than one requirement, e.g. to two concentrations, or to a concentration and the historiography requirement.
