The Master of Arts in History degree is designed for current teachers seeking professional licensure, students preparing for doctoral work in history and anyone seeking the challenge of graduate work in history.
UMass Lowell students who wish to be B.A./M.A. candidates may apply to the program and waive the GRE test so long as they have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 for all previous course work. Application is typically submitted during the student’s second semester of their junior year. B.A./M.A. admission is based on having an overall GPA of 3.0 or better; two letters of recommendation from UMass Lowell History Department faculty; and a personal statement that describes the student’s interest in a history master’s degree.
