The Graduate Certificate in History is designed to serve those who want to deepen their history content knowledge, prepare to teach concurrent-enrollment courses, or achieve a credential that they can build upon later if completing the Master of Arts degree in History is not their immediate goal. Coursework is available in-person, online, and via blended modalities. It is "stackable" with the MA in History degree; Completers of this certificate will have achieved more than half of the credits required for the history MA.
