Suggested Curriculum Sequence
The typical plan of study requires enrollment in a minimum of nine (9) credit hours per semester to remain full time. Not every course is offered every semester, and the following plan of study is an illustration. At the initial conference with an advisor, a preliminary plan of study will be established, and this will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies (using the SGS Plan of Study Form) for placement in the student’s official file. At this time, any anticipated exceptions or anticipated transfer credits will be noted. An estimated time for completion of the thesis should be included.
Year 1, First Semester (Fall, Year 1): 9 Credits
Year 1, Second Semester (Spring, Year 1) : 9 Credits
Year 2, Third Semester (Fall, Year 2): 9 Credits
HIST 788/789: Supervised Research or 700-level History Seminar 3 Credits
500-700 level History Course (Elective)* 3 Credits
500-700 level History Course (Elective)* 3 Credits
Year 2, Fourth Semester (Spring, Year 2): 3 Credits
HIST 797 /HIST 799 Thesis Guidance / Thesis Defense 3/9** Credits
* NOTE: Up to 6 hours in electives may be taken in other disciplines with the Graduate Coordinator’s approval.
** Note: Upon achieving Master’s Candidacy, the student should continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for HIST 797 (Thesis Guidance) until the Master’s Thesis is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review. The course is used only when the curriculum is near completion, and the student is completing the research and writing of the thesis. The course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student is registered for 3 credit hours and the system reports a full time 9 credit hour load).
After the Intent to Defend the Master’s Thesis form has been accepted by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to HIST 799 (Thesis Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (HIST 799 will also count for 9 credit hours of load). Other courses cannot be substituted for HIST 797 (Thesis Guidance). The only eligible grade for HIST 797 (Thesis Guidance) is the grade of “S,” and the only acceptable grade for HIST 799 (Thesis Defense) is Pass, “P.”
