The MA in Social Studies program leads to a research seminar, where students present original findings in their discipline. Students will graduate from the program having performed in-depth research that presents historical detail in a framework of their choosing.
Outside of the concentrated studies on student's selected discipline, students delve into other parts of the social studies curriculum, ensuring their perspective is as broad as it is deep and reflects a well-rounded historical knowledge. The historical education students receive is couched in social consciousness so that in addition to the political, economic, and geographic sides of history, students will gain an in-depth cultural awareness and understanding.
