History, M.A.

The 36-hour non-thesis program offers broad flexibility to meet varying needs and interests. The non-thesis track requirements include HIS 530 , HIS 580 , six hours from each of the four fields and six hours of elective history courses. No more than six hours of public history may be used to satisfy the requirements of the non-thesis track. The student who is a public school teacher or who is considering teaching in the public schools may structure with the approval of the graduate program advisor and the department chair a program that includes teacher workshops and classroom teaching apprenticeship experience.

Cooperative programs between the Department of History and the College of Education exist, which lead to professional certificates in the College of Education or to the graduate degree in history or education.
