The online history master’s degree is a thematic program covering a range of time periods and geographic locations. Instead of gaining concentrated knowledge on one specific topic, you’ll instead acquire a wide breadth of historical understanding and consider a variety of historical perspectives.
The online history master’s degree provides the foundation necessary for building an advanced historical perspective while cultivating broadly useful skills. You’ll become more experienced with writing about complicated topics as you complete comparative analyses, historiographies and research papers. Learning history can support your ability to understand the present and shape the future. |
