Temple University offers a varied and flexible program for graduate training in history on the M.A. level. While general requirements ensure that every Temple graduate is familiar with the basic issues of history and the latest approaches of professional historians, students are encouraged to tailor their programs to their own particular interests. To enrich their appreciation of history, students are welcome to study in other disciplines. This program provides enrichment opportunities for teachers in secondary schools, students hoping to pursue history doctorates elsewhere, and professionals in various public history fields.
