History
Master of Arts

Understanding history is the key to a better future. SUNY Oswego’s History MA program is designed to give you the knowledge of history and training in historical research to prepare you for a wide variety of careers or for your pursuit of a Ph.D.

Work with knowledgeable faculty

You’ll learn from a distinguished faculty made up of published scholars, seasoned historians and award winning professors. You will learn the importance of disciplined methods of inquiry and interpretation, as well as empathy and imagination, working with faculty members who also serve as your mentors.

Adapt your education to you

You can fit your graduate education to match your interests. You can pick two fields of specialization from European, American, Global or Women's History, and combine your studies with courses in American Studies, Native American Studies and others.

Four tracks

Further tailor your education to your future endeavors by choosing one of four tracks in the program: a research/thesis option if you plan on pursuing further education; directed study for in-depth examination of existing literature; a teaching track to learn the skills to teach at the college level; or applied history to prepare for a career in museum work, historical societies, government agencies and more.
