Everyone who loves history soon learns to respect the past on its own terms: the powerful contrasts, the subtle complexities, the contingent turn of events, and the sheer richness of human society. Professional historians use archives and the work of other scholars to develop their own understanding of the past. They research, analyze, and offer original interpretations of the past in rigorous and clearly-written work. As graduate students in history, you will do the same. The Masters degree in History is structured to introduce students to these critical tasks. In your coursework and independent studies you will examine historical evidence, you will interpret and rely upon the work of other scholars in your field, and you will communicate your ideas using clear and precise style.
The History faculty at Texas A & M University - Corpus Christi are committed to these goals and to the students enrolled in the History Masters Program. Our degree plan offers a wide variety of graduate courses, and provides a roadmap for students to follow to graduation and to professional opportunities in history. It is designed to benefit secondary school teachers seeking to enhance their professional skills and standing, as well as students planning careers in academia, public history, or the professions.
We offer training in the fields of interest and specialization of our Graduate Faculty. Please see faculty individual pages on the History website. You may contact them directly for details.
