History - Salisbury University

History from Salisbury University is a Campus Master History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Planning a Program of Study Upon admission to the Graduate Program, each graduate student should meet with the Graduate Director to select tentatively the student's preferred major and minor (a second minor is optional) concentration areas. These areas will provide the basis for the written and oral examinations. The four broad concentration areas are: Chesapeake Studies; Colonial and Revolutionary America; 19th and 20th Century United States; and European/World (which includes Ancient). A graduate student may not receive credit for a 500-level course in history and/or anthropology at Salisbury University that corresponds to the 400-level course or topics course (same title) that was taken for undergraduate credit at Salisbury University. In addition, each graduate student must complete History 601, Methods of Historical Research. Students admitted on probation, after completing nine hours of course work (three hours of which must be at the 600-level), will have their performance reviewed by the Graduate Director to determine if the student will be allowed to continue in the Graduate Program. By the end of the semester in which twelve hours are completed, the student must review the preliminary program of study and present any changes to the Graduate Director for approval. Program Description Completion of the program requires a total of 30 semester hours of graduate course work and satisfactory performances on oral and written examinations. Each student must complete: 1) At least five seminar courses (15 semester hours) at the 600-level, including History 601, Methods of Historical Research. The aim of these classes is to develop skills in historical research, analysis, and writing. Furthermore, the aim of these classes is to master the historical scholarship extant in the student?s chosen areas of concentration. 2) The remainder of the credit hours may be earned in the following ways: - Completion of a thesis (up to 6 non-seminar semester hours: History 630, 631); and/or - Completion of additional graduate seminars (3 semester hours each); and/or - Completion of 500-level courses at the graduate level (3 semester hours each; students must discuss additional requirements with the instructor at the beginning of the course); and/or - Up to six semester hours of graduate work in history may be transferred from other institutions. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0; earning two grades of ?C? or one grade below ?C? is grounds for dismissal from the program. During the Master?s Examinations, the student completes the written examination first; these responses are used as the basis for discussion in the oral examination. Any student who fails the written or oral examinations may retake the examination once, but must do so within one year of the date of the original examination.
