Master of Arts [M.A] History
While the master’s program does prepare students for entry into the doctoral program, it is equally aimed at enhancing the skills and historical perspective of teachers, lawyers, journalists, museum professionals, editors, and others in both the public and private sectors.
Small seminars comprise the bulk of course work for both M.A. and Ph.D. candidates to provide maximum interaction between faculty and students. Students may also design special courses with individual professors and take a limited number of advanced undergraduate courses.
The University of Connecticut is an institution large enough (15,000 students) to provide variety but small enough to ensure quality. It offers a faculty committed to teaching and research, a graduate research library of 2.3 million books and periodicals, and a location in an attractive rural setting convenient to the major research and population centers of the Northeast.
The master’s program is designed to give general training at the graduate level in preparation for doctoral study or work in schools, government service, law, or the private sector. (The department also offers a masters degree with an emphasis on American Studies).
