• Graduate Program
  The M.A. program provides a good foundation for further graduate study in History. It's also an excellent program for secondary education teachers seeking to enrich their general understanding of history. We currently support five graduate assistantships. Our M.A.s are found in professional positions all over the Midwest. Some have earned doctoral degrees at prestigious institutions, but quite a few have gone into business. Missouri Seventh District congressman and former Majority Whip, Roy Blunt, is among our most notable alumni.
• Graduate Certificate Program (New)
  This new program builds on courses created by departmental faculty advised by in-service teachers as part of a Teaching American History project. Rigorous testing indicates that this certificate program can increase student performance on nationally normed tests.
• Minors in History
  Minors are required in all but comprehensive degree programs. The History minor is particularly efficient because it allows flexibility, and two of the courses can be counted in General Education.
