The history program offers broad flexibility to meet varying needs and interests. 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 James I. Perkins College of Education exist, which lead to professional certificates in the Perkins College of Education or to the graduate degree in history or education.
