The Master's degree with a major in history is designed to follow an undergraduate concentration in history. Candidates must complete at the graduate level a minimum of ten courses, at least eight of which must be in history, including History 800, Historiography and History 954-955, Thesis. Students may, with the permission of the History Master's Committee, take 300- or 400-level history courses for graduate credit. Students with adequate preparation in history and for sufficiently compelling reasons may receive permission from the History Master's Committee to elect up to two courses offered in another department.

Applicants to the program and those generally interested in the graduate resources in History at the College, may review our degree requirements, current course offerings, and graduate faculty descriptions by accessing our homepage on the Internet at http://www.trincoll.edu/hist/grad.tml.

The graduate curriculum in history concentrates on the United States and on modern Europe. Courses in other areas appear regularly, but less frequently. All degree candidates must declare one of three concentrations in the Master's program: United States history; European history, or an Individually-Designed History Concentration (to be devised by the student in consultation with the Graduate Adviser and approved by the History Master's Committee). More information about these concentrations may be obtained from the Graduate Adviser or the Department Chairman.

The thesis is the final project for all candidates. Students may receive credit for tutorials by arrangement with individual instructors, provided they secure the approval of the History Master's Committee. Courses in history are available both during the Summer Term and the regular academic year.
