Master
of History (MA)
School of Social
and Human Studies
Atlantic International University
The Master of History (MA) program objective
is to help students to explore the convergence
of different methodological and theoretical
approaches to history such as the intersections
between political and social history, or
the connections between diplomatic, cultural,
and intellectual history. The Master of
History program is offered online via distance
learning. After evaluating both academic
record and life experience, AIU staff working
in conjunction with Faculty and Academic
Advisors will assist students in setting
up a custom-made program, designed on an
individual basis. This flexibility to meet
student needs is seldom found in other distance
learning programs. Our online program does
not require all students to take the same
subjects/courses, use the same books, or
learning materials. Instead, the online
Master of History curriculum is designed
individually by the student and academic
advisor. It specifically addresses strengths
and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities
in the student’s major and intended
field of work. Understanding that industry
and geographic factors should influence
the content of the curriculum instead of
a standardized one-fits-all design is the
hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Job Description
Master of History
Historians study events, ideas, institutions,
and individuals of the past. They may research
and interpret events that occurred in the
earliest periods of recorded time or ones
that people can remember. Unlike archaeologists,
who work chiefly with physical objects,
historians rely mostly on written records
for evidence to support their claims. However,
historians sometimes use physical objects,
such as photographs, costumes, and tools,
to shed light on past lifestyles. Historians
often try to relate knowledge of the past
to present-day situations or problems.
History is a very broad field, and historians
usually specialize in a particular time
period, country, or region. For example,
a historian may specialize in U.S. history
with a more specific focus on the Great
Depression. Another historian may focus
on medieval history and concentrate on the
German-speaking areas of Europe. Historians
also specialize in certain kinds of history,
such as the history of ideas, the history
of immigration, the history of women, or
the history of science. Sometimes historians
specialize in a particular field, such as
economic, social, or political history.
Although historians are encouraged to specialize,
they also need general knowledge to relate
their findings to the broad patterns of
change and continuity traced throughout
the past.
