Degree Requirements
MA - History
The Master of Arts degree can be earned through one of three plans. The Thesis Plan is intended primarily for those students who expect to continue graduate work or who need or desire the full range of professional experience, including intensive research and writing. It assures training in research techniques and the preparation of scholarly papers, culminating in the submission of a thesis. The Course Intensive Plan is intended primarily, but not exclusively, for students not expecting to pursue doctoral studies. The Public History Plan is a program designed for graduate students who are primarily interested in careers in historical or archival administration, or in museum management. It provides students with both theoretical and practical training in these areas.For the purpose of planning advanced courses and seminars, each student should consult a graduate director regularly. A student receiving two Cs will be placed on academic probation and will be required to appear before the graduate studies committee to justify his or her continued participation in the program. Upon review of the student’s progress, the graduate studies committee may dismiss the student from the program.
