Overview

Master of Arts in History

This one-year M.A. The program is small and collegial, catering to both full and part-time students. 

Enrolments are limited, allowing faculty members to devote time and energy to fostering the research skills of each Master's student. 

Generous fellowships are available, and opportunities also exist for working as Teaching Assistants. 

The core graduate seminar surveys the theories and methods of the discipline of History. 

Students can choose among a range of seminar courses to further broaden their knowledge and also have the option of working one on one with individual faculty members in directed studies in order to fulfil the program’s course requirements. 

Saint Mary University's MA candidates work closely with a supervisor to plan, research, and write their Masters’ thesis, the capstone of our program. 

Recent graduates of the History M.A. program have advanced to Ph.D. programs or pursued careers as museum curators, researchers, teachers, lawyers, or archivists. 

Saint Mary's University is located two city blocks from the Nova Scotia Archives and its rich collection of French and Acadian records, British Colonial Office papers, immigration and census data, wills, probate records, maps, and photos.
