The department has a long track record of placing its M.A. graduates into the nation’s most competitive doctoral programs, including Yale, Stanford, New York University, University of Virginia, and University of Pennsylvania. Past M.A. graduates have then gone on to tenure-line jobs at many leading universities, including the University of Virginia, the University of Georgia, and the University of Nebraska. Recent M.A. graduates also have landed jobs with several private high schools, the U.S. State Department, the Montana Historical Society, and Historical Research Associates (HRA), a historical consulting firm with offices in Missoula, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.
