history courses and a 2.80 overall average that shows at least 12
credits earned in a foreign language. The language requirement is waived
for those seeking the MAT.

the Department of History. Detailed information about requirements and
procedures related to these programs is available in printed form from
the head of the department.
Master of Arts
General M.A. requirements apply. A thesis degree and a non-thesis degree
are offered. The thesis degree is offered in all fields of history for
which faculty is currently available. The work toward an M.A. degree
stresses preparation for research as well as a balanced course program.
