专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Master of Arts program in History provides talented students with advanced training in the professional practice of historical research and pedagogy. The program serves three primary constituencies: students preparing for further graduate work at the doctoral level, those who wish to become secondary school educators, and those planning for careers in a range of public history fields (the program offers a specialized Graduate Certificate in Public History). By preparing broadly-trained practitioners who have research expertise in a chosen field of specialization, the MA in History also offers an excellent foundation for careers in public relations, journalism, law, and public service. Quite apart from its vocational promise, History is a foundational discipline in the humanities, and the serious study of the past is a source of intellectual enrichment and a lifelong endeavor.

The department offers a Master of Arts in History and a Master of Arts in History and Area Studies (an interdisciplinary program with the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures). Both degrees require a minimum of 33 credit hours of coursework. Because research and writing are fundamental tenets of the discipline of history, students are expected to complete a major original research project as part of their plan of study. Most students complete this requirement by designing, researching, and writing a thesis. Students who choose the non-thesis option take additional coursework and submit a research paper to complete research requirements.
