    History, MA

    Program Description

    The College of Arts and Sciences history graduate program is a community of scholars pursuing the study of a wide range of geographical areas and topics.

    The University of Oregon supports the study of history through an array of related interdisciplinary programs and a research library of more than two million volumes, along with many other resources.

    The history department has an outstanding graduate faculty. The faculty is large enough to have a wide array of geographical and thematic specialties, but small enough to provide close working relationships between faculty and graduate students, as well as a collegial environment.

    The MA program provides students and their faculty advisors with maximum flexibility in designing fields of study. Many MA students choose to continue their studies in the PhD program, while others have earnt admission into some of the most prestigious history programs in North America including:

    Princeton University
    University of California, Berkeley
    University of Chicago
    University of Toronto
    University of California, Santa Barbara
    Yale University
