The history graduate program leads to the master of arts degree and features course offerings in two tracks: American history and public history. Recognized faculty scholars in the Department of History, who are equally committed to education and research, help to impart students with a present-day view of humankind through a variety of historical perspectives: politics, society, popular culture, minorities, military affairs, and business.
The program is designed for students who wish to augment skills in teaching or in public history institutions, or to secure such positions. It also prepares graduates for doctoral-level studies in American history. Course offerings and rotations are scheduled to accommodate both full- and part-time students.
