The department provides two graduate degree options in history: the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S.). The M.A. program mandates competence in one foreign language and completion of a thesis defense. Students aiming for doctoral studies in history are advised to choose the M.A. track. The M.S. program caters to working professionals, eliminating language and thesis obligations, though participants typically don't qualify for assistantships or tuition benefits. Each degree path demands completion of at least 30 credit hours, with a minimum of 24 credits in history coursework.
