About program
Prepare to succeed in a rapidly changing and increasingly connected world. With a Master in Arts in History from the University of West Florida, you’ll conduct independent research, evaluate popular claims of “historical fact,” identify social patterns and reveal the voices of people from all backgrounds.
What You Will Learn
The M.A. in History offers three specializations: Early American Studies, Public History and Traditional History. Whichever specialization you choose, you will gain the ability to think critically, communicate effectively and ask incisive questions about the world around you.
You will be required to take two methods courses, sequenced to provide a layered approach to research. Each track also has unique requirements throughout the curriculum and culminates with a capstone project such as a thesis, M.A. research paper or internship.
By the beginning of the second year of class work, you should be thinking seriously about what you want to do for a thesis project. Before starting any work on a prospective project, you will choose a thesis advisor, a thesis committee and develop a thesis.
Throughout your studies you will have several opportunities for hands-on research. Many of our students work with the UWF Historic Trust as docents, archivists and educators. Other students find a variety of internships or research projects with local, regional and national museums, historical societies and other institutions.
The Department of History also offers a historic preservation certificate in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology.
