The Lehigh history department provides undergraduate and graduate programs with a Public History focus, equipping students to present history to broader audiences through museums, historical organizations, and non-profits. Through practical experience, participants develop professional skills in this program. You could craft exhibit narratives using artifact collections, produce promotional content for community history initiatives, or develop sought-after digital history projects. Lehigh offers an undergraduate major/minor, M.A., and Ph.D., with public history specializations at both levels, plus a graduate certificate and minor in documentary filmmaking. Students must fulfill either Plan I or Plan II requirements within six years of enrollment to earn the M.A. degree.

Qualification Requirements
The most important elements of the application file for the review process are:
--The personal statement which details the student's interest in pursuing graduate study in History.
- The applicant's academic record, with special emphasis on their performance in history and related subjects.
- Recommendation letters from two or three faculty mentors who can speak to the applicant's potential for graduate work in the discipline. One of these letters may come from a former employer or non-academic mentor if they can speak to related skill sets the applicant may possess.
- GRE scores are required, though they are rarely the determining element in an application file. A strong performance on the Verbal section of the GRE is what is most important.
- The ability to write clearly and intelligently as demonstrated by a relevant writing sample, perhaps drawn from a seminar or research paper completed for a recent course, or a chapter or section of a thesis. Please limit submissions to about twenty pages maximum (excluding notes and bibliography). **All materials are to be uploaded on the online application.
