The proposal to create the Master's Program in Mexican History was presented in 1997, the result of the collaborative work of professors affiliated with the Department of History in the Division of Historical and Humanistic Studies at the University Center for Social Sciences and Humanities of the University of Guadalajara. The following year, on August 3, the program was approved by the University of Guadalajara's General Council. Subsequently, the first call for applications for the 1999-2001 cohort was published, and the selection process began. Since 2002, scholarships have been awarded with the support of CONACYT (National Council of Science and Technology), a factor that has contributed to the program's high graduation rate. To date, 11 cohorts have graduated, and the twelfth cohort is currently in training.
The Master's Program in Mexican History is a postgraduate program designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the discipline and historical research, fostering critical, original, and creative approaches. It guides students in the historiography, theories, methodologies, and empirical analyses necessary to meet the demands of research in the field of Mexican history.

Furthermore, they are proficient in specialized documentary research in archives and libraries. They are capable of producing knowledge about the past at the everyday, local, regional, and national levels, as well as in connection with international processes.
