The University of Cincinnati has an excellent mid-sized Department of History and a lively intellectual community. Our graduate program prepares our MA students for a successful career in and outside academia, e.g., secondary teaching, academic positions, public history, and positions in the areas of law and business.
Students enjoy the benefits of a varied curriculum combined with personal attention from faculty. The Master's program is designed to give students a strong grounding in a particular major field – United States, Europe, World, or Public History – while providing professional training in both teaching and researching history. Students select a concentration in United States, European, World, or Public History, but everyone receives broad training, taking courses in minor fields, languages, or in other graduate programs.
A special feature of our program is its Public History track, which trains students for professions in institutions such as museums, archives, libraries, as well as environmental and governmental facilities like the park service.
