Description of ProgramThe Department of History offers master's and doctoral degrees in three major fields -- North America, Europe, and World. The objective of the graduate program is to prepare students for careers in research and teaching. The M.A. degree with the thesis option should be chosen by those who are preparing for careers involving scholarly research or education in a college or university setting. The non-thesis option is designed for those interested in a more general career in teaching. The program emphasizes broad-based training and comparative study with either option.Carefully structured and individualized graduate programs in all fields afford maximum personal contact and consultation between graduate students and professors in seminars, directed individual readings, lecture courses, and supervised thesis research and writing. The faculty makes every effort to provide a creative environment to sustain a community of scholars and a substantial part of all graduate students' training is in small seminars. Students have several resources available to them including the archives of the Nebraska State Historical Society and the Center for Great Plains Studies. |
