M.A. in History

Duquesne University

Our two-year, 30-credit master's degree offers three major areas of study-American, European and global/international history-through three flexible tracks of study: thesis, non-thesis with a minor and non-thesis without a minor. This graduate history program is well-suited for students who wish to go on to pursue a Ph.D. or secondary-school teachers interested in increasing their content knowledge. An M.A. degree in history from Duquesne will also provide you with the critical knowledge you’ll need to prepare for a career in a wide variety of professional fields-from law, policy and business to government, academia and work with NGOs. The Department of History has exciting opportunities for graduate students, including access to leading scholars, diverse coursework, internship opportunities, a graduate lounge and research and conference funding. We also offer financial assistance, including tuition awards, scholarships and graduate assistantships.
