Overview
Graduate History coursework at Midwestern State University—from small seminars to thesis hours to practicums—equips students with the skills to research, write, and think critically about the past and present. In recent semesters, we’ve offered graduate seminars on Barbarians, the Cold War, and natural disasters; electives on Latin American Republics, the Balkans, and Ancient & Medieval Women; and practicums that place students in local museums.
Overview
The Thesis Track requires 30 semester hours of approved graduate courses. These courses include Methods and Historiography (HIST 6103), Preparing Historians (HIST 6503), two Graduate Seminars on various topics (HIST 6003), and six hours of thesis research (HIST 6983 & HIST 6993). To graduate, students must produce a polished thesis of at least 60 pages and pass an oral examination. See the list of theses to see the scope of projects our students have undertaken.
The Non-Thesis Track requires 36 semester hours of approved graduate courses. These courses include Methods and Historiography (HIST 6103), Preparing Historians (HIST 6503), and four Graduate Seminars on various topics (HIST 6003). It is also possible for student to take coursework outside of the history department. To graduate, non-thesis students must present and defend a polished exit paper based on research conducted in their coursework.
