MA/MS in History

Worcester State's graduate history degree deepens knowledge of the United States, Europe and the wider world. Classes meet in the late afternoon, in the evening and over the summer, and the part-time format suits working professionals who want to keep their jobs while studying. Small seminars led by skilled faculty build historical breadth and depth along with research and writing skills. Faculty work closely with students to clarify academic and career goals. Many graduates continue to doctoral study, while others teach history in grades from kindergarten through twelve, and the degree can count toward teacher licensure in Massachusetts. Applicants need a bachelor's degree, a completed application with essay, official transcripts, two recent recommendation letters, English proficiency results when applicable, and a background in undergraduate history.
