Course Requirements

All students need to complete 12 courses (48 hours) of graduate-level work for the MA from the list of courses below. These courses share the programmatic focus of the curriculum in their emphasis on historiography and historical thinking toward preparing students for a wide variety of professions. Note that the colloquium courses listed below have subtitles identifying the specific topics to be addressed – for example, HST 431 COLLOQUIUM IN AMERICAN HISTORY: The New Deal. As long as the topics of colloquium courses are different (as reflected by their subtitles), students may take them more than once. The scheduling of colloquium courses is designed to provide students with a global perspective as part of their MA training. With the permission of the Graduate Director, students may substitute up to 2 courses (8 hours) of Independent Study (HST 497) or Graduate Internship (HST 492). In addition, upon consultation with the Graduate Director and with their approval, students may count up to 2 courses (8 hours) from another DePaul graduate program toward the History MA.

With the permission of the Graduate Director, students may substitute up to eight quarter hours of Independent Study or Graduate Internship for two colloquia.

In addition, upon consultation with the Graduate Director and with his/her approval, students may count up to eight quarter hours from another DePaul graduate program toward their MA. Such courses would reduce the number of required colloquia by two.
