Overview

Through this dual program for the M.A. in History and Library Science, students can enroll through Indiana University Bloomington and get access to both the library databases and a range of asynchronous graduate courses offered by IU faculty, including some in Bloomington and others across the IU system.

Key Facts

The degree requires 30 credit hours, including 9 credits of core courses (Historical Methodology, Digital and Public History, and a Research Seminar) and a choice between a US History Track and a World History Track.

Students complete the program with a capstone research project which either involves a traditional thesis or a public-facing project in digital and/or public history. This is a good choice for those seeking an asynchronous degree to prepare them for the world of K-12 teaching, librarianship, public history, or publishing.
