Master of Arts in History and Secondary Education

Through the joint History and Secondary Education M.A./M.A. program, students receive licensure and professional preparation for teaching Social Studies at middle-school or high-school level, alongside grounding in the knowledge base and key skills of a historian. The program allows students to complete two separate master's degrees in less time (with fewer courses and credit hours) than if they did the two degree programs separately.
Students graduate from the joint program fully equipped with teaching experience, knowledge of pedagogical methods, and relevant educational psychology through training in the Department of Education, in combination with all the latest research methods and other advantages offered by the Department of History's rigorous graduate program.
