Master of Arts in History
| Program Overview | The UNF Master of Arts in History program offers concentrations in European and United States History . Courses in African, Asian, and Latin American history are available and may be used to fulfill non-concentration requirements. Students choose either a traditional 30-hour program requiring a thesis or a non-thesis option requiring three additional courses (39-hours total). Graduate students are expected to maintain at least a 3.0 average, and no student may be awarded a master's degree unless the graduate average is B or higher. |
| Special Notes About the Program | The MA in History is one of UNF's oldest degrees. |
| Application Information | Applications are accepted for fall, spring, and summer terms. |
| Admission Requirements | In addition to the general admission requirements at UNF, applicants are expected to have earned an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 overall for the last 60 credits of undergraduate study and a 3.4 GPA in history courses, and have scored a minimum of 1000 (combined verbal and math score) on the GRE examination. Students are not required to have been history majors, but it is expected that they will have taken the equivalent of at least a minor (15 credits) in undergraduate history courses. Students who have not met this requirement should consider taking additional undergraduate history courses at UNF before applying for the M.A. program. In addition, applicants must send a typewritten essay of three to five double-spaced pages describing their career goals and areas of historical interest, and three letters of reference. At least one of the letters should come from a former or current history professor. For further information, contact the graduate advisor or department chair. |
