nature, the program requires the completion of lower-division requirements
(15 hours) before entry into the three-year portion of the program. It
also has prerequisites numbered 5000-5304(300-399) for graduate readings
courses numbered 6101-6115(400-499). When all the requirements of the
B.A/B.S. – Ed. and M.A. program have been completed, students will be
awarded both the baccalaureate and master’s degrees. A carefully designed
program can permit a student to earn both degrees within as few as ten
semesters.
The combined program requires a minimum of 137 hours, at least 6 of which must be at the senior level History 4001(390) and 4004(393) and 37 of which must be at the graduate level courses numbered in the 5000-5304(300-399) range and in the 6101-6115(400-430) range. In qualifying for the B.A. or B.S. – Ed., students must meet all University and College requirements, including the requirements of the undergraduate major. In qualifying for the M.A., students must meet all University and Graduate School requirements, including satisfactory completion of at least 37 credit hours.
Students should apply to the Graduate Director of the Department of History for admission to the 2+3 combined degree program in History the semester they will complete 60 undergraduate credit hours. A cumulative grade point average of 3.1 or higher and three letters of recommendation from faculty are required for consideration. Students will be admitted to the 2+3 program under provisional status until they have completed 30 credit hours in History with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. After completion of the provisional period, and the recommendation of the Graduate Director, students can be granted full admission into the program. Students in the 2+3 program begin to pay graduate credit hour fees for all courses applied to the graduate degree after they have earned 107 hours. Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher throughout the combined program.

Degree Requirements
The Department of History offers two options for graduate study, the Master
of Arts in History and the Master of Arts in History with Concentration
in Museum Studies. These options are described below in separate sections.
Master of Arts in History
The Department of History offers students two ways of completing the master
of arts degree: one path of study emphasizes depth of knowledge and research
competence acquired through writing a substantial master's thesis; the
second emphasizes breadth of historical knowledge acquired through graduate
course work and the writing of research papers. Both paths include a core
of substantive courses in history (see Core) to which the student adds
either a thesis (see Thesis) or additional research papers and seminars
(see Research Papers).
The M.A. program offers all students intermediate training preparatory to doctoral programs, advanced training leading to teaching and other careers, and disciplined advanced work.
The department offers study in European history,
Europe to 1715
Europe since 1715
Latin America
Africa and the Middle East
Africa and African American
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet several departmental admission requirements in addition
to the general criteria of the Graduate School. The applicant's undergraduate
studies need not have been in history, but they must demonstrate high
academic potential. Normally, only students with a 3.2 grade point average
in their undergraduate major are admitted; most successful applicants
have higher grades.
Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation, preferably from former teachers, and a sample of their written work. The sample may or may not be academic work, and length is not a consideration. Applicants for graduate teaching assistantships must take the GRE Aptitude Test; the Advanced Test is optional. The departmental Graduate Committee bases its admission decisions upon the undergraduate transcript, the letters of recommendation, and the sample of written work.
Core
All candidates for the M.A. degree in history must complete a core of
26 hours of course work (excluding thesis credit), with no more than nine
hours of history and related fields at the 3000(300) level (except History
4004(393). This 26-hour core must include seven courses at 3 credit hours
each (21 hours in all), and one 5-credit-hour writing seminar consisting
of a 2-credit-hour research paper supplement to a 3-credit-hour, 6100(400)
level history readings course.
To earn the 26-hour core, candidates select three fields of study, the first with a minimum of four courses (each at 3 credit hours or more), the second and third with a minimum of two courses each (at 3 credit hours or more). Each field must include at least one 5100(400) level course.
In addition to this core, each candidate must select one of the two following degree options:
1) Thesis Option--32 hours total
In addition to the core, the candidate choosing this option must enroll for 6 hours of thesis credit and submit an acceptable thesis. The thesis is based on original research in primary sources. Normally, theses do not exceed 100 pages of text. Candidates receive a grade for the thesis upon its approval by an advisory committee. The committee consists of professors selected by the candidate after consultation with the major professor. One member of the committee must be outside the candidate's general area of study, and one may be outside the history department.
The advisory committee conducts an oral examination on the thesis during the candidate's last semester of residence.
The committee decides whether the candidate shall pass, fail, or fail with the option to repeat the oral examination at a later date. Students may not take the oral examination more than twice. The second examination must be held no less than one and no more than two semesters following the date of the first examination. Summer session may be counted as a semester under this procedure, but students should be aware of the difficulties involved in assembling faculty committees during the summer.
Thesis candidates must demonstrate competence in one foreign language or in quantitative methods as applied to historical study. Candidates shall demonstrate foreign language competence by translating, with the use of a dictionary, 500 words in one hour. A member of the history faculty will conduct this examination. That faculty member will choose the test for translation. Candidates shall demonstrate quantitative methods competence by satisfactory completion of either Psychological Statistics 2201(201) or Sociological Statistics 3220(220), or their equivalent.
2) Research Paper Option-36 hours total
To complete this option, the candidate must complete two 5-credit-hour seminars (each consisting of a 6100(400) level reading seminar plus 2 credit hours of supplementary work on a substantial research paper), in addition to the core. The candidate may choose a fourth field in addition to the three already represented in the core to complete this option.
Master of Arts in History (Museum Studies) and Graduate Certificate
in Museum Studies
These options are intended for students planning to pursue professional
careers in museums. In addition to the core requirement of substantive
courses in history, the Museum Studies program includes intensive training
in the theory and practice of museology. This innovative program is a
collaboration between the Department of History, Department of Anthropology,
and Department of Art and Art History, and the Missouri Historical Society.
It is taught by a combination of professors and practicing professionals
from St. Louis-area museums. Recognizing that the museums field is in
a period of rapid change, the program is designed to train students for
leadership in the emergence of a new paradigm of museology that focuses
on relationships between museums and the people and communities that they
serve.
For most students this will be a terminal master of arts degree, fully preparing graduates for immediate entry into museum careers in a variety of positions. While the core requirement focuses on history studies, the museological training is applicable to employment in any type of museum.
Admission Requirements
Applicants wishing to enter the Museum Studies concentration must apply
specifically for that concentration; successful application for the general
M.A. program in history does not automatically provide access to the museum
studies program. Applications for the museum studies concentration will
be accepted only for the fall semester. Because of the prescribed sequence
of course work, no midyear entry into the program will be allowed.
In addition to the general criteria of the Graduate School, applicants for the Museum Studies concentration must meet several additional criteria of the Department of History and the museum studies program. Applicants' undergraduate studies need not have been in history, but they must demonstrate high academic potential. Normally, the history department admits only students with a 3.2 grade point average in their undergraduate major; most successful applicants have higher grades. Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation, preferably from former teachers and/or employers, and a sample of their written work. The sample may or may not be academic work, and length is not a consideration. Besides these departmental requirements, applicants must submit the Museum Studies Supplemental Application. The supplemental application includes a statement of intent for pursuit of a museum career.
The departmental Graduate Committee and the director of the museum studies program will base their admissions decisions upon the undergraduate transcript, the letters of recommendation, the sample of written work, and the GRE scores as evidence of ability to meet the academic demands of the training program, and the supplemental application as evidence of the will and ability to pursue a successful career in museums.
Applications for the museum studies program must be received by the university no later than March 1.
Museum Studies Curriculum--39 hours total
All candidates for the M. A. in History with a Concentration in Museum
Studies must complete History 6134(434), 6135(435), 6136(436), and 6137(437).
These courses are cross listed under the same numbers in the Anthropology
Department and the Art and Art History Department. Students may enroll
through the department of their choice. All candidates must also complete
Art and Art History 5588(488) Museum Education and Visitor Research and
Anthropology 6139(439) Practicum in Exhibit and Program Development. Together,
these courses provide a solid foundation in the theory and history of
museology and in practical skills for museum work. As a final requirement,
candidates must complete History or Anthropology or Art and Art History
6138(438). This exit project will be the capstone demonstration of competence
in museum studies. The specific nature of this demonstration will be customized
to the interests and career aspirations of each student. It may take the
form of a traditional thesis, an exhibit project, or some other appropriate
form, as approved in advance by the candidate's advisory committee.
In addition to these requirements, all candidates must complete 15 hours
of elective history course work, with no more than 6 hours of history
at the 3000(300) level except History 4004(393). Museum Studies students
will take courses distributed in any proportion between the fields of
"
Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies (19 hours)
A very limited number of slots may be available for students who wish
to pursue only the Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies without seeking
the M.A. in History. In most cases, these will be students who already
hold an advanced degree and are currently working or planning to work
in a museum but who have had no formal training in museum studies. Candidates
for the Graduate Certificate must complete History 6135(435), 6136(436),
6137(437), and 6138(438), Art and Art History 5588(488), and Anthropology
6139(439). Contact the director of the Museum Studies Program for availability
of slots in this option and for special application procedures.
Career Outlook for B. A. and M. A. graduates
An important rationale for the discipline of history is its centrality
to the university curriculum and to the life experience. The ability to
put events or developments into the context of the past is useful as well
as pleasurable. Responses to a questionnaire sent to history graduates
have indicated that alumni in a wide variety of fields are as conscious
of and appreciative of their training in history as those who have chosen
it as a profession. Men and women in business, lawyers, bankers, librarians,
and foreign service officers have all found it relevant to their careers.
Study and research in history sharpens organizational and writing skills
important to success in business and the legal profession. A growing interest
in local history has created employment opportunities in museum, archival,
and preservation work.
Career Outlook for M. A. with Concentration in Museum Studies
There are more than 8,000 museums in the
