There are two plans for the MA degree in History. The Thesis Plan, which lends itself to research and independent study, is advisable for the student who expects to continue advanced study at the university, or who has a well-defined problem to explore. The Comprehensive Examination Plan is best suited for those who want a broad, rather than specialized, background in history and is designed primarily for teachers of history at the secondary and junior college levels. The purpose of this program is to prepare nurse specialists who can function in selected roles of nursing administration or education. The program is designed to develop nursing administrators or educators who can assume leadership roles and conduct independent research.
Graduates have the foundation for entering doctoral programs in nursing.
