New M.A. Program Trains Historians for Careers in “Public Culture”

January 31, 2012

Preparing a new generation of historians for careers beyond academe, St. John’s has launched a graduate program in Public History that combines advanced historical research with technology, electronic media and their use in managing public and private information collections.

The 33-credit Master of Arts degree program is part of a new, interdisciplinary initiative by faculty from across the 18 academic departments in St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the University’s oldest division.

Classes begin in the Fall 2012, semester. Those interested are invited to apply now.
