Program overview
The Master of Arts in History offers classes at convenient times, including nights and occasionally online. Our faculty members understand the work and life commitments masters' students must balance as they pursue their degree. Classes are small, and professors make personal connections with you and your classmates. Students choose from a thesis or non-thesis track. The program emphasizes local, national and global histories, and the necessity of uncovering stories of people whose voices have not often been heard.
