Overview

Key Facts

The History program at The City University of New York is also distinguished by its emphasis on historiography, the changing ways in which history has been researched, debated, and interpreted over time and across different schools of thought.

MA students in History work in consultation with the departmental Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) to plan a course of study that meets their professional and intellectual needs. MLSMA students complete History MA courses as well as coursework through the School of Information Studies in library science, museum management, historical preservation, and the like (please refer to our information page on the MLSMA). Internship opportunities may also be available.
