History | Master’s Degree
University of Vermont
Applicants should have an undergraduate major in history or in a related field of the humanities or social sciences with the equivalent of a minor in history.
Description
The Department of History offers a comprehensive program of courses in the history of the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in global and comparative studies. At the graduate level, students develop broad historical knowledge and acquire training in historical interpretation and methods. Students may pursue the M.A. on either a part-time or full-time basis.
The department maintains a small, selective graduate program leading to the master’s degree in history. Faculty are distinguished both as active scholars and as engaged teachers, and this graduate program is based on close mentoring relationships between faculty and graduate students. The department aims to keep the program at a size that best supports students’ individual curricular and career goals: approximately 10-12 students are admitted each year.
Financial Assistance
Funding, Grants, & Scholarships
The department offers a wide variety of scholarships and funded work opportunities that provide major support for most students over the course of their program. Two fellowships are awarded to our most highly qualified accepted applicants: The Miller Center for Holocaust Studies Fellowship provides full funding, including tuition and stipend, for a student in Holocaust Studies or related fields. The Thompson Fellowship provides full funding, including tuition and stipend, for a student in any field of history. Students who wish to be considered for fellowships as well as admission must submit completed applications, with supporting materials, by March of the academic year preceding that for which application is made, or the program's application deadline, whichever is earlier. Graduate Teaching Assistantships are awarded to approximately five students each semester, each carrying a stipend and partial tuition remission. Most admitted students are awarded one or more GTAs over the course of their studies.
