The Master of Arts degree in History at Millersville University offers advanced training in American, European and World History. Helping you achieve your goals is central to all of Millersville’s graduate programs. The M.A. in History is no exception – flexibility is key, and you have the option to tailor the program to encompass all of your interests. Courses are offered in the evening during the regular school year, and during the day in the summer. The program is designed to appeal to both teaching professionals who want advanced study in the teaching of history and students who wish to prepare for continuing graduate study in history.
Thesis Option - 30 S.H.:
Students who elect to write a thesis must register for HIST 699 and successfully defend an approved thesis based on original research.
Non-Thesis Option - 30 S.H.:
Students who elect not to write a thesis are required to take an additional 600-level research seminar.
The History Department requires that all students enrolled in the M.A. program maintain the level of academic progress described in the Admissions Requirement section. In addition to university requirements, beginning with the Fall 1995 semester, any student entering the History graduate program who receives a second C in his/her degree program is automatically suspended from the program. A student suspended on this basis must petition the Department's Chairperson and graduate faculty for reinstatement.
