see the Division of Graduate Studies and Research.
Foreign Language Requirement. Students on the traditional track (either Thesis or Examination choice) must pass a reading
competency examination in at least one foreign language approved by the graduate adviser before being advanced to candida-cy. With the prior approval of the graduate adviser, a foreign language readings course may be substituted for the exam.
Graduate Writing Requirement. History graduate students in all tracks/options must fulfill the Graduate Writing Requirement

Graduate Program
The Master of Arts program in History is designed to extend the competence of persons engaged in a wide variety of fields re-quiring
a broad grasp of historical knowledge, techniques, and interpretation. Within this degree program, students may choose
to complete either a traditional track or a teaching option. The traditional track, which offers both thesis and examination as pos-sible
culminating experiences, best satisfies the needs of those interested in public service, teaching at the community college
level, or pursuing advanced graduate study in history. The teaching option best satisfies the needs of those interested in enhanc-ing
their teaching of history primarily at the secondary level.
The Graduate Certificate program is most suitable for those teachers who would like to update their professional credentials,
those seeking supplemental certification, those seeking to prepare for the CSET, and/or those who would simply like to continue
their study of history but who do not require an M.A.
Prerequisites. Admission to the Master of Arts degree program in History assumes undergraduate preparation equivalent to
this university’s major in history. Majors from other disciplines may qualify for admission depending on grade point average and
other factors deemed pertinent for success in historical studies. The department determines in each case whether the applicant
