As a student in the MA in History program, you will join a small, selective cohort that emphasizes the comparative understanding of historical processes. You will explore colloquia in comparative and regional topics, conduct individual research in consultation with a faculty member, and receive specialized training in a historical field.
The MA Program in History is designed to prepare students for future doctoral study as well as for roles in settings such as secondary schools, libraries, foundations, and museums. In recent years, MA graduates have continued on to PhD programs at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brandeis, Boston University, University of North Carolina, and the University of Michigan.
