Overview

Study History at University of Lethbridge

Because of the nature of the History MA program offered by University of Lethbridge, the Thesis forms the central requirement of the program. At the master’s level, a Thesis involves close collaboration between supervisor and student. Consequently, students are required to secure a potential supervisor prior to submitting an application for this program (except for Economics major). Courses are determined in consultation with the supervisor before the student begins the program. Students are required to take the equivalent of 3 – 6 full-times courses. All History students take the core graduate seminar in Historiography (History 5000), with the remaining courses a mixture of half-semester courses in Cultural, Social, and Political Thought (CSPT); undergraduate seminars elevated to graduate level; and Independent Studies.

Programme Structure

Graduate degrees in History are awarded for the successful completion of a satisfactory thesis.
This forms the central requirement of the program and expresses the fundamental tradition of academic scholarship, combining the analysis and synthesis of ideas, empirical investigations of primary sources, the construction and articulation of arguments, and writing skills.
As a rough guideline, we ask for MA Theses to be 100 pages long, but there are many exceptions.
