A master's thesis is usually based on primary research and demonstrates the student's competency with historical research materials AND methodology. The thesis is regarded as preparation for the possible pursuit of a doctoral degree and thus as part of the student's training as a professional historian. Research alone is not sufficient, students must also be able to connect their research to the contemporary framing of questions within their field and within the discipline.<br>The non-thesis program includes the successful completion of a written exam, paper, or project. The student should work with his or her primary faculty adviser to decide on the topic and format of the exam. The exam, paper, or project should be completed in the student's second year.<br>Should the student fail the exam, he/she may, with the approval of the examiner(s) and the Graduate Committee, retake the examination once, and then no sooner than one semester after the failure. A second failure will result in dismissal from the program.<br>Note: Students enrolled in the non-thesis program for the Master of Arts in History and who fail the exam will not be permitted to enroll in the thesis program.
