North Dakota State University's history graduate program has provided master's degrees since the Graduate School's establishment in 1954, with doctoral programs added in 2002. Learn more about our M.A. and Ph.D. offerings
Students can earn either a Master of Arts (M.A.) or Master of Science (M.S.) in history. The M.A. program mandates foreign language competency and thesis completion, making it ideal for those considering doctoral studies. The M.S. track caters to working professionals, eliminating language and thesis obligations but typically excluding financial aid opportunities. Both degrees require completing at least 30 credit hours, with a minimum of 24 history credits.
