The Master of Arts in History exposes students to a range of historical debates and methodologies in a variety of seminars. The program has four fields of concentration: International, Gender, Canadian, and European history. A seminar in each of these fields will be available yearly. The program consists of course work and a Major Research Paper (MRP) which will normally be completed within a year. The MRP will provide students with an opportunity to engage in primary research as well as the major historiography of their research area. The MA is designed to train students for further graduate work such as entry into a PhD program and to develop research and writing skills useful for a wide array of other educational and career options. A special feature of the program is the annual Graduate Student Conference held each spring at which students will present their MRP proposals to a wider audience.
