 History M.A. Admission Requirements


1.  Students must comply with all University and College of Arts and Humanities 

     procedures and requirements for admission to graduate degree-seeking status.

 

 2. Applicants must have completed at least 12 hours of upper-level

     undergraduate history credits, with a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better.

 

 3. College graduates who do not meet these requirements may petition to enter

     the history MA program by alternate admission. After reviewing the applicant's

     transcript and letters of recommendation, and if deemed necessary, interviewing

     the candidate personally, the history graduate faculty may, at its discretion, allow

     the applicant to attempt to enter the program through the following two-step

     process:

 

     a. Attaining a passing grade on a writing exercise to be assigned and 

         evaluated by the Graduate Studies Committee of the College of LIberal Arts.

 

     b. Attaining a score equal to or above the national mean of the GRE

         Advanced  Examination in History.

 

 The alternate admissions procedure substitutes only for the 12-hour History

 undergraduate and GRE or Graduate Entry Point requirements listed above. All

 other University, College, and History faculty admissions procedures and

 requirements apply to these candidates. International students must have their

 credentials evaluated for their equivalent value according to standard University

 procedure and meet other specified University admissions requirements.

 

 A graduate with 12 hours of upper-division history coursework from an accredited

 undergraduate institution and a 3.0 G.P.A. in the last 60 hours of course work

 may be given temporary status for one term. Students with temporary status may

 accrue no more than 6 hours of graduate credit towards the M.A. prior to being

 formally admitted to the program.
