UMass Boston’s History MA focuses on expanding and improving your ability to think critically, creatively, and constructively about the past and prepare you for a wide range of careers. It is designed for students who want to test their capacity for graduate work beyond their undergraduate studies, students who want to augment their historical knowledge as they work in a library, historical society, museum, or other institution, and secondary-school teachers who want to hone their skills in history and add a master’s degree to their résumé. Develop your research and writing skills as you explore topics, including indigenous history, global food history, European Socialism and Fascism, the history of medicine, the Cold War, the Progressive Era, Genealogy, the history of immigration, and more. To complete the program, all students work closely with a faculty advisor to craft a thesis, an original piece of historical research.
