Master of Arts [M.A] [History] From University of Massachusetts

Participating faculty teach graduate courses, sit on dissertation and examination committees, and serve as advisers and mentors. Through Five College cooperation, the program offers an extensive range of opportunities for the study, teaching, and practice of history.
The 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.
