Degrees Offered: Master of Arts in History, Master of Arts in Teaching (History). Both degrees are offered jointly by NJIT and Rutgers-Newark.
The Federated History Department offers the master of arts for generalists and for students interested in preparing for further graduate study in history, and the Master of Arts in Teaching for current and prospective secondary school teachers of history and social studies. The objective of the graduate history program is to furnish a broad yet rigorous course of study in preparation for careers in teaching, business, law, government, administration, and other fields related to history, as well as to enhance the professional experience and increase the opportunities for advancement of students who are already working as professionals in these fields. Program administration and teaching are shared by faculty from both campuses, and the full resources of both universities are available to all history graduate students and faculty. Resources include access to the Rutgers University library system of more than three million volumes, to the outstanding collection in the history of medicine at UMDNJ, and to excellent history collections in the region. The program emphasizes hands-on learning and archival research in association with local institutions, such as the Thomas Edison National Historic Site in nearby West Orange and the Newark Museum and the New Jersey Historical Society in Newark. The joint Rutgers-Newark/NJIT graduate history program is the largest and most diverse master's-level history program in New Jersey. Many of the graduate faculty have national or international reputations as scholars, representing a wide variety of time periods and fields of study. The program is particularly noted for its strengths in environmental history and the history of technology and medicine; the history of communication, cultural and intellectual history; diplomatic history; history of women; pre-Civil War and contemporary America; African and African-American history; legal history; and global and comparative history.

Master of Arts in History
|
| The M.A. in History furnishes a broad yet rigorous training in history in preparation for a wide variety of careers in education, law, business, medicine, and administration. Admission Requirements:
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution and favorable letters of recommendation from professors familiar with their work. An undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 is normally required. Students must provide GRE scores. Application:
Students interested in the program should contact the graduate programs director and apply to Rutgers-Newark. Degree Requirements
A minimum of 30 credits is required, including 18 in a major field and 6 in a minor field chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. The remaining 6 credits may be completed through a Master's Thesis or a combination of a Master's Essay and an additional course. Major Fields: American History See the Federated History Department website for more information. World History See the Federated History Department website for more information. History of Technology, Environment, and Medicine/Health
Based at NJIT, this concentration is a unique integration of three relatively new and increasingly important historical sub-disciplines. Students concentrating in the History of Technology, Environment, and Medicine/Health explore not only the interrelationships between environmental transformations, technology in society, and health and medicine, but also their social meanings, their cultural relations, their political, social, and gender histories, and their local, national, and global contexts. NJIT has a distinguished concentration of faculty in these areas, with particular strengths in American environmental and urban environmental history; the social and cultural history of medicine; and the history of technology and communication. Students interested in pursuing this major field of concentration should contact the NJIT graduate coordinator for more information. The following is a sample curriculum for a student completing a major field of study (18 credits) in the History of Technology, Environment and Medicine/Health. |
