We offer MA degrees in US History and Global Contexts. Global Contexts is intended for students who do not wish to specialize in US History or who would like to pursue a general course of study that does not require them to specialize in a time and/or place. This degree is also well-suited to students wishing to work comparatively on themes such as environmental history, gender and sexuality, colonialism and imperialism, and the history of science, medicine, and technology. Students wishing to specialize in aspects of Asian History, European History, Latin American History, or Middle Eastern History can enroll in the Global Contexts program, but will pursue their research interests in the context of global historical processes. The ability to specialize in a region will be contingent on course offerings and the availability of faculty to supervise the program of study.
Applicants interested in the Global Contexts MA will have to choose a track at the time of application. We offer a Global Contexts MA Portfolio track or Thesis track. Applicants should contact the Director of Graduate Studies, Dr. Elizabeth Clement to help determine which track is better suited to their goals.
Graduate students interested in US History will benefit from our department's internationally recognized strength in that field. In the final semester of the program, students will compile a portfolio and undergo a portfolio defense. MA in US History students do not write a thesis.
