Description of M.A. Programs
Starting in Fall 2021 the Department of History and Classical Studies will offer a new M.A. program in History. The program is built around a 3-credit, co-taught Research Seminar, which is required of all incoming students, as well as complementary courses. A range of dedicated but rotating 600-level complementary courses will be offered each year, reflecting areas of interest among the Department鈥檚 faculty. Besides coursework, students will produce a thesis under the supervision of one or more faculty members.听
The program will significantly hone students鈥� skills in research, critical thinking, and analytical writing. It can be taken in preparation for a possible Ph.D. program or for a wide range of non-academic career options. The program is designed to be completed in three terms of residence, but may be extended into a second year if necessary.
Students can earn their degree in History alone, or with an interdisciplinary concentrations in Gender and Women's Studies or in Development Studies. (In the case of the Development Studies concentration, acceptance in the History M.A. program does not automatically entail acceptance in the concentration.) With or without a concentration, the degree consists of 45 credits.
顿颈蝉肠濒补颈尘别谤:听The new program will start in Fall 2021 pending approval; in case of discrepancies, the e-Calendar鈥檚 version has priority. There will be no changes to the thesis M.A. and non-thesis M.A. program in Classics, also offered through the Department of History and Classical Studies.
