History from Lehigh University is a Campus Master History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The M.A. is conferred upon students who meet the requirements listed below for either Plan I or Plan II within six years of entering Lehigh. The M. A. may be either a terminal degree or a step toward the doctorate. Those wishing to go on for a Ph.D. at Lehigh should follow Plan I. All students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average on Lehigh's 4.0 scale. Students must submit a Program for Master's Degree as soon as possible after they have completed 15 credits toward their degree . Plan I requires the successful completion of 27 hours of course work and the preparation of an acceptable thesis for which the student receives three hours credit. The thesis must be written under the direction of a member of the History Department. It must be read by at least one member of the department other than the director and accepted by both. Plan II requires the successful completion of 30 hours of course work and passing written comprehensive examinations in two fields, with one faculty member administering the exam in each field. The choice of fields is the same as for the Ph.D program. M.A. students who choose Plan II must notify the Program Director and discuss the nature of the exams with the relevant faculty at least one semester before scheduling the exams. One faculty member will administer the examination in each field. If the student fails either or both exams, he or she may retake the failed exam(s) once, after consultation with the faculty member(s) who administered the exam(s).
