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.
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 Advisor and approved by the
History Master's Committee).
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.
