The MS differs from the MA degree in that it requires no foreign language competency, has no thesis requirement, and allows a more liberal selection of course work. It is intended, in particular, to meet the needs of primary and secondary instructors who want to enhance their competency in the discipline. The MS in History is a terminal degree not intended to lead to the PhD program in History.
