Key facts

The M.A. Thesis is a unique opportunity to work on a significant research project under the direction of a faculty advisor. The project is an excellent opportunity for graduate students to work as independent historians, providing a setting in which students are able to explore and delve more deeply into a long-standing interest or topic.

Although challenging, a thesis is an intellectually rewarding and satisfying experience not only for students who intend to pursue further graduate study, but also for those with careers in education, business, government, or other professions.
