Overview
M.A. History students from the Catholic University of America master the principal outlines of events, developments and ideas, and continuities and changes in the field. They gain thorough understanding of the historiography and the methods and approaches that historians past and present have applied. They develop research skills with primary and secondary sources, and sharpen their analytical thinking and written and oral communication skills.
Catholic University’s Department of History offers the M.A. in the following areas:
- medieval European history
- modern European history (with options to emphasize either early modern or recent modern eras)
- colonial-era and post-revolutionary American history
- Religion and Society in the Late Medieval and Early Modern World (described elsewhere in this site), which capitalizes upon the department’s unique concentration of faculty expertise in these fields and upon the centrality of religious history to the department’s mission.
