UMA Graduate Bulletin 2019-2020 Program Descriptions, Faculty and Courses History Program Overview Master of Arts Degree Program
Master of Arts Degree ProgramThe M.A. curriculum is designed to give students a broad grounding in History. Each M.A. candidate selects a major area of concentration, and pursues study in two additional fields as well, one of which must be geographically distinct from the major area of concentration. Students's primary fields are generally defined by a time and place (e.g., the U.S. before the Civil War), while other fields explore other parts of the world, and/or thematic areas like public history, cultural history, and political history. Language ProficiencyAll M.A. candidates must demonstrate competency in one foreign language. U.S. history specialists may substitute proficiency in an alternative tool of research. Course Work
