History, M.A.

California State University - Fullerton

The Master of Arts in history provides a course of study for those whose interests are in teaching, business, government service and the professions, as well as for personal enrichment. It offers all the basic requirements for those who intend to pursue a doctoral degree upon the completion of their study at California State University, Fullerton. The Master of Arts in History is designed to provide advanced study of the human past in order to discover meaning for people in the present. Our particular strengths are in enhancing and further preparing secondary educators in their fields, as well as training students at our outstanding Center for Oral and Public History. We have also enjoyed great success sending students to history PhD programs. During the course of their studies, students can expect to master historical pedagogy, critical analysis of sources, research methods and historical writing. This training readies our graduates for careers in teaching, government, business, law, journalism, social service and research.
