Programs Offered

Master of Arts in History with a concentration in either United States, European or non-Western history
Master of Science in Education in Adolescence Education: Social Studies (7-12) with a concentration in either history or geography

Description

The Master of Arts in History serves students whose career goals will benefit by a terminal M.A. degree and by those who intend to go on for a Ph.D. in history at another institution. Many students who have an initial certificate in teaching secondary social studies also use the M.A. in history to gain professional or permanent certification, and those with provisional licenses to gain professional or permanent certification.

The Master of Science in Education in Adolescence Education: Social Studies is intended primarily for social studies teachers in grades 7-12 seeking professional certificates or permanent certification. Since substantial graduate-level work is done either in history or geography, students also may want to use their degree for careers relevant to those academic fields.

Special Features

• History Honor Society
• History Club
• Small graduate reading and writing seminars
