Master of Arts [M.A] [History] From Seton Hall University

Our program offers four concentrations (U.S., European, Global or Catholic history), allowing students to follow their individual interests. Students work alongside professors to conduct original historical research and engage in significant historical debates and fields of study. And our rich library collections in American, Italian, Russian and Irish history help students develop their unique theses. This four-semester program is designed for completion in two years, but part-time study is also available.

With four concentration options, you can focus on whichever areas of history interest you most: U.S., European, Global or Catholic. All students complete a course called The Historian?s Craft, which introduces the art of historical thinking, research and writing. From there, you can choose from specific concentration courses (with titles like Dante and His World, Medieval Italy, History of Modern Japan and even New Jersey History) and electives. A thesis is optional, but strongly encouraged for those pursuing doctoral studies.
