Master of Arts - History - Public History

The graduate program in history at Arkansas State University trains students in historical research methods, historiography, and historical content in global, public, and United States history. The global history emphasis is for students who are interested in studying big questions, especially those pertaining to the processes, events, and people who have created an increasingly interconnected world. Students will engage with the works of important historians in the field, theory, and historiography while honing their ability to research and write as global historians themselves. This program is aimed at students who want to subsequently pursue global or non-United States history Doctor of Philosophy  programs, who want to teach high school world history at an advanced level, who want to teach world history in community colleges, and who are interested in foreign service careers.
