Academic Requirements
Requirements for the regular M.A. degree:

- Demonstrate an ability to read one foreign language. Students should expect to do this in their first year since many research seminars use sources written in other languages. The History Department considers foreign language competency a serious matter and students should be aware of this when they apply.
- M.A. students may present and discuss a portfolio, including a substantive research paper (normally developed from work in a research seminar), and pass a comprehensive oral examination in their area of specialization.
