History (M.A.) – Liberal Arts Specialization

Overview

The Master of Arts in History, Liberal Arts Specialization offers two degree tracks designed to meet a range of professional and academic goals. Working closely with a faculty mentor in an area of our department’s areas of faculty expertise — U.S. history, environmental history, and public history — students develop deep disciplinary knowledge in a supportive, seminar-based environment.

• Plan A (Thesis track) is designed for students who wish to write an original thesis. Students on Plan A conduct archival research to author an original piece of scholarship under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
• Plan B (Non-Thesis track) is designed for students who want broad-based training through coursework and projects culminating in a professional portfolio.
