The M.A. program in history, like the department's undergraduate program, rests solidly upon the American and European fields of study, with more intensive focus in graduate studies upon historiography, research methods, and the writing of history.

Course offerings are balanced between European and American history. Most thesis subjects are selected from topics in United States history or regional history, reflecting the strength of library holdings. The program serves teachers in the area's secondary schools, adults seeking personal enrichment or career advancement, and students who will pursue doctoral-level studies elsewhere. Career opportunities may be enhanced in all fields with familiarization courses in statistics and computer sciences. Students are encouraged to consult with their graduate advisors regarding the benefits of these ancillary skills.

Applicants for graduate study in history must present a satisfactory undergraduate scholastic record and satisfactory GRE scores on the aptitude portion of the examination. Each applicant must have a minimum overall undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 (A=4.0) or at least 3.0 for the last 60 hours of work; score at least 1500 on the three aptitude portions of the GRE; and (3) have an undergraduate major in history or its equivalent as determined by the departmental graduate committee
