24 monthsThe Master of Arts in History will prepare you to pursue a doctorate or a career in education, public service, and many other fields. In this program, you will develop a deeper understanding of how historians investigate and interpret the past while you explore the past with your own original research. In producing your own scholarship, you will sharpen your analytical skills, hone your research interests, and refine your writing and interpretation skills.
Our program is ideal for students interested in American or modern European history. However, the program also provides room for flexibility, allowing you to broaden your study, pursue your intellectual interests, and focus your expertise with elective coursework and research in public history, women's/gender history, politics and foreign relations, Jewish history, and other areas of faculty specialization. We encourage our students to approach the study of the past through a critical and multidisciplinary lens.
