FGCU's history M.A. program cultivates our students' skills in historical research and helps them develop a sophisticated and complex understanding of a range of historical events, issues, and debates within a global context. Our program will prepare students for further academic study (e.g., Ph.D. programs in history or related subjects) and equip them with the necessary skills to think critically, communicate effectively, and practice history in various capacities in the public and private sectors.
Students can take courses in U.S. history—with a focus on topics in African-American, military and diplomatic, Florida, or public history—as well as World history, with a focus on Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, or Asia. Students can select a thesis or non-thesis option. Classes take place in small seminar sessions that emphasize discussion and shared learning, and graduate students are given the opportunity to work closely with our distinguished faculty members.
