MA/MS in History

Morgan State's history master's degree provides demanding graduate training in researching and interpreting the past. It is described as the only history master's program at a Maryland HBCU. Students can write a thesis or instead produce independent research papers, and they gain practical experience through archival work, internships and projects led by faculty with partners such as the Smithsonian, the National Park Service and the Library of Congress. Graduates move into education, public history, research and archival careers, or continue to doctoral study. Classes meet face to face, over four semesters of study, so the degree suits students who want a campus-based experience. A named program director supports students, and applicants can request more information online. Historical research and writing are central, with internships giving graduates experience that supports later careers or doctoral study.
