The Public History concentration within the History MA curriculum prepares students to conserve and present historical narratives to diverse public audiences. This program is ideal for those seeking careers in areas like community history, digital archives, historic preservation management, museum curation, oral history documentation, cultural tourism, and other fields requiring practical research skills.
Through the Public History curriculum, students gain expertise in the conceptual frameworks, methodologies, and technical competencies historians utilize when applying historical knowledge in professional settings. The coursework expands upon traditional historical studies - grounded in temporal and spatial contexts - to emphasize hands-on historical practice.

Qualification Requirements
A bachelor's degree in History (or an equivalent).
A 3.25 GPA in all upper-division history courses taken as an undergraduate student.
The GRE is not required for admission to this program.
A Statement of Purpose (maximum of two pages) describing personal goals and objectives in seeking a graduate degree in history.
Three letters of recommendation from former professors who can address the applicant's ability to undertake graduate-level history courses.
A substantial academic writing sample between 2000 and 5000 words illustrating the applicant's ability to engage in historical research and analysis. Acceptable writing samples may include a chapter from an honors thesis, a conference paper, or a term paper.
A computer-based score of 233 (or 91 internet-based score) and paper based 577 on the Test of English as a Foreign language (TOEFL) if an applicant is from a country where English is not the official language, or if an applicant's degree is not from an accredited U.S. institution, or if an applicant did not earn a degree in a country where English is the only official language or a university where English is the only official language of instruction. Although we prefer the TOEFL, we will accept IELTS scores of 7.0.
Applicants applying to this program who have attended a college/university outside the United States must provide a course-by-course credential evaluation with GPA calculation.
Applicants who hold an undergraduate degree in History but do not have a GPA of 3.0 in all work attempted while registered as an undergraduate student, or while registered as an upper-division undergraduate student (normally based on the last sixty attempted semester hours), or a 3.25 GPA in their upper-division history courses may take up to 9 hours of graduate courses as non-degree-seeking students. To be admitted into the graduate program, however, they must earn a 3.3 GPA or higher in the graduate-level history courses they take under this status.
