Once you have been accepted into the Public History Program, it is important that you contact your faculty advisor to help you plan a program of study suited to your needs.

All incoming Public History students are required to take History 720 and the introductory course in your field of study in the fall.  You may choose to enroll in one other course.  Students with graduate assistantships may take as few as six credits (two courses).

Note that some courses are offered once a year while others are offered once every three semesters or once every two years, so it is often advisable to take a course when you see it offered.

Enrollment in some of the traditional history seminars fills up quickly, so you are wise to register early in the summer after you are accepted.
