Program details

Overview

This Master of Arts in History, essay option, at Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres is a 45-credit programme integrating disciplinary knowledge to develop research expertise in the human sciences centred on history. Like the thesis-based Maitrise en histoire, it draws on the Centre interuniversitaire d'etudes quebecoises (CIEQ) for Quebec-focused study while also covering European and American history, but culminates in a shorter research essay rather than a full thesis. The programme is designed for both recent bachelor's graduates in the humanities and social sciences and working professionals, particularly in teaching and cultural-sector roles, who want a research-oriented credential on a more compact timeline. It is offered full-time and part-time on the Trois-Rivieres campus, with admission each fall, winter, and summer term, leading to a Maitrise es arts (M.A.).

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.20 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent in French or Quebec literature, philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, or a related field, obtained with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on 4.3, or have completed a related graduate certificate with the same average. Candidates without the required degree may be admitted on an experience basis by possessing the requisite knowledge, appropriate training, and experience judged relevant by the university.
