Master of Arts (History)

The Master of Arts in History at Universite de Moncton is a thesis-based graduate program comprising one year of coursework followed by the writing of a thesis that demonstrates the student's capacity for independent and original historical research. The program is completed over two years of full-time study, with a possible one-year extension for students who need more time to complete their thesis. As part of the application, candidates submit a two- to three-page research proposal outlining their intended area of study, along with two letters of recommendation supporting their candidacy. Students work under the supervision of a faculty member to develop and complete a historical research project. The program suits students holding an undergraduate degree with a specialization or major in history who wish to build advanced research skills in the discipline, preparing them for doctoral study in history or for careers requiring advanced historical research and analysis.
