The master's degree program mandates that students earn 30 graduate credits with a minimum grade of B, while delving into the historical context and scholarly approaches of their selected specialization. Participants can select either a Professional Track or an Academic Track, tailored to their career aspirations. Both tracks mirror the initial coursework of doctoral candidates for the first two semesters, culminating in an oral examination during the third or fourth semester as the program's pinnacle experience. The Academic Track caters to those aiming for collegiate-level history instruction or scholarly writing but who aren't prepared for doctoral studies. Academic Track students must complete the yearlong Core Seminar in historical methodology and typically align their studies with first-year Ph.D. candidates. Admission to this track is exclusively for fall enrollment. Similar to the Professional Track, Academic Track participants can graduate through coursework or by opting for a 6-credit master's thesis, which enables original research using primary source materials.
