The Department of History’s Graduate Program provides opportunities for advanced students to pursue the study of History in a challenging and supportive environment. To serve the many students who choose to pursue History beyond their undergraduate careers, Duquesne has two programs that lead to the Master's Degree in History. In addition, it offers graduate education at times convenient for the working professional as well as the full-time student. All of our classes are scheduled in the evenings and both of our programs are open to part-time as well as full-time students.

Duquesne offers a Master's Degree in Historical Studies program. This tract prepares students for further graduate study. It also provides high quality, subject-based graduate courses for those who are already teaching in secondary schools or who wish to teach in them.

Duquesne also offers a Master's Degree in Public History with a concentration in Archival, Museum, and Editing Studies (AME). This program primarily prepares students for work in the expanding field of Public History, although some AME students have also gone on to additional graduate education beyond their master's.

Students in both programs take most of their courses together, giving them the benefit of interaction with the widest possible range of peers and faculty, while still enabling them to focus on what they need in order to pursue their careers.

The History Department's Graduate Program offer its students stimulating courses taught by well-respected scholars who are committed to sharing their knowledge with their students.
