This experience is uniquely stimulating and fits a variety of career goals.Our graduates do history in many places. Some work in distinguished public history institutions, including the Smithsonian Institution, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Library of Congress, and the National Park Service. Others have been highly successful at private companies such as Blackboard. Students who already have full-time jobs use their MA degrees to advance within their existing careers. Students have pursued further education in history at the PhD level at schools such as American University, Georgetown, McGill University, Michigan State, Rice University, University of Virginia, Yale, and in Mason's own history PhD program.
