History M.A.
The M.A. Program in History began in Winter 2006. It is designed to meet the needs of various constituencies – current History and/or Social Studies teachers at all levels of K-12 education, students interested in eventually pursuing a Ph.D. in History, and members of the community interested in continuing to study the discipline of History.
We strive to achieve the following: develop specialized historical competencies and an enhanced awareness of human diversity, develop critical thinking/problem solving skills, develop facility in oral and written communication, and develop independent thought and research methods. At the same time, the program will help K-12 teachers to hone their skills and to deepen their knowledge of History. Finally, the program seeks to support the ideal of lifelong learning.
