Graduate Program
The decision to seek an advanced degree in the Department of History reflects an interest in and an appreciation for the historical past.
The Master of Arts degree serves a four-fold purpose: to prepare individuals well-qualified to teach the subject of history, to demonstrate alternative modes of historical expressions such as simulations and living history, to provide students with research and investigative skills applicable to academic and professional situations, and to encourage the thoughtful and continuing study of history throughout the lifetime of the individual.
