The History Department in cooperation with the Art Department and the Levin College of Urban Affairs offers an interdisciplinary program that leads to a Master of Arts degree in History with a specialization in Museum Studies.

The program is broad in scope rather than highly specialized. Depth in a specialized area is achieved through HIS 599 Internship in History, HIS 695 Research Seminar, and the 500-level elective course.
