The UNF Master of Arts (M.A.) Program in History emphasizes the acquisition of research and writing skills that will benefit those seeking further graduate study and those who wish to further develop their knowledge to be better, more effective teachers, researchers, and writers. The Department of History offers courses in African, Asian, European, Latin American, and U.S. history. By the end of their first year, students choose between thesis or non-thesis options, both of which require a minimum of 36 credit hours to complete.
