Master of Arts in Public History

Program Overview

Learn to care for history needs with today’s technology: you'll do that here.

Southeast offers two options in public history: historic preservation and digital heritage. The historic preservation option will prepare you for further study or career placement in museums, historical sites or agencies. You'll become familiar with issues in public history, material culture, the historic landscape and the built environment.

The digital heritage option will prepare you for careers at the intersection of public history and the digital humanities. You'll hone skills connected to the increased uses of technology in documenting, preserving and communicating history. Students can choose to focus on one of three tracks: computer science, educational technology or multidisciplinary.

What You’ll Do

No matter which option you choose, you'll get to participate in field exercises and projects that will take you outside the classroom.

  • Graduate classes average fewer than 15 students, allowing for meaningful interaction between students and instructors.
  • Develop advanced historical research and analysis skills through work with varied source materials. 
  • Gain advanced knowledge and skills for the documentation and interpretation of historical documents, buildings, objects, or historic sites. 
  • Grow expertise in community history to audiences, including public, professional, and academic.
