Carleton's MA in Public History offers a cutting-edge curriculum that prepares historians to navigate the unique demands of bringing historical expertise into public spaces. The program emphasizes hands-on interaction with public history practices and professionals, often through team-based initiatives with local organizations.
Professors maintain active partnerships with historical societies, community organizations, and advocacy movements across the region. While academically rigorous, the program provides adaptable learning through a blend of traditional history coursework and specialized public history studies. Summer internship opportunities between academic years may include paid positions (availability dependent). Participants refine their research capabilities, critical thinking, and communication techniques through a capstone research endeavor.
