Academic Requirements
Applications from students who meet the minimum requirements of Graduate School are forwarded to the History Department to be considered for admission to the Master of Arts in History. Please allow at least 6 weeks for your application to be processed.
The admissions committee weighs a number of factors in its decisions. So success in one area may offset a less successful record in other areas. Not all of our applicants were history majors as undergraduates, but students with Bachelor\xc2\x92s degrees in other fields are expected to have taken one introductory-level US History and one Introductory-level World History course and 18 hours of upper-level undergraduate history (equivalent to 3-4000 level course at Arkansas State) before applying to the program. Courses in allied fields may be counted toward the 18 hour requirement at the discretion of the department.
Students seeking to enter the graduate program in history must satisfy the admission requirements of both the Graduate School and the History Department. Applications to program must include:
- A completed application form
