About
The History Department's 4+1 Program allows a select group of juniors and seniors to earn both a BA and an MA in History in five years. This program is intended to offer students a more in-depth opportunity for advanced training and research and thus be more competitive for further graduate education or in the employment market. Students in the program will meet course requirements for both the undergraduate major and for the master's degree, which includes a semester research seminar and a final semester of thesis writing. Undergraduate students enroll in up to four graduate courses that will be double-counted towards both undergraduate and master's requirements. The final year is devoted to course work, research and thesis writing.
Students interested in this program should first contact the Director of the Graduate Program who will review the student's academic record and facilitate the application process. Accepted students should schedule an appointment with the Director to create a study plan.
