专业概况

在这里学什么？

This is a 27-hour program culminating in a MA in history. Current historical research on particular subjects is treated in 400-level courses. Original research projects are pursued in 500-level seminar courses. Applicants for the MA degree should inform the Department if they intend to continue to the PhD level. This information should be included in the personal statement section of the application. Students may attend on a full-time or part-time basis.

General Requirements

All students in the MA program must take History 400; two 500-level seminar courses; and complete the portfolio requirement. Students in the MA program are required to complete at least 12 hours (four courses, one of which must be a 500-level research seminar) in one of the following major fields:

• Medieval and Renaissance
• Modern Europe
• United States

In addition, students must complete one minor field by taking three courses in a field other than their major. The minor fields are:

• Ancient Mediterranean
• Asia
• Early Modern Europe
• Gender and Women's History
• Medieval and Renaissance
• Middle East
• Modern Europe
• Public History
• United States

Thematic minor fields (such as race and ethnicity or colonialism and empire) may be created with the approval of the Graduate Program Director. Students may also select a minor field from another discipline with the approval of the Graduate Program Director. Students wishing to pursue a minor field in public history must meet with the Public History Program Director, formally declare public history as their minor field and indicate their plans for fulfilling the minor.

Comprehensive Examinations

Toward the end of their graduate program, students must pass a take-home written examination in the major field. The student will produce two 10–15 page historiographical essays based on a reading list developed in conjunction with a two-member committee of history faculty of their choosing. The committee should be established no later than the beginning of the semester in which the student intends to take the examination. Students will have one week to complete the exam, which will be evaluated by the committee. In addition, students satisfy the examination requirements in the minor field through earning nine credit hours with at least a B (3.0) average.

Research Tool Requirement

All master's level students must demonstrate competence in a research skill (e.g., oral history or a reading knowledge of a foreign language) appropriate to their major field. They are expected to master this skill before advancing beyond 18 credit hours. Coursework taken to master a language does not apply toward graduation.
