Undergraduates who have completed at least 60 credits may qualify for the Accelerated Bachelors/Masters Program. Graduate students interested in careers in historical sites, government agencies, museums, and other organizations may choose the Public History Track option in the M.A. program. The UMBC History faculty have particular expertise in public history, policy history, international historical perspectives, the history of science, and teacher education. Students are encouraged to engage in active learning experiences such as internships and in-depth research at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our program is designed to encourage the development of good writing and research skills in conjunction with innovative and critical thinking.
