Master of Arts in History


Admissions

In addition to fulfillment of the general requirements of the Graduate College, admission to the M.A. study in history is based upon the recommendation of the Graduate Studies Committee to the head of the department.

Preference is given to applicants who majored in history as an undergraduate. The Graduate Studies Committee will consider other applications on an individual basis. Students with insufficient undergraduate hours in history may be required by the committee to take additional hours at the 5000/6000 level. Students applying to Plan I are expected to have made progress toward proficiency in a foreign language before seeking admission.
