History, B.A.-M.A.

The department offers the following dual degree program:

B.A./M.A. in History
History and Master of Historic Preservation, B.A.-M.H.P.

These dual degree opportunities enable qualified students to enroll in graduate courses late in their undergraduate program and apply the coursework toward both the bachelor’s and master’s programs.
