History, B.A./M.A.

The combined Bachelor of Arts/Master of Arts program enables highly motivated students to earn a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in five years. The combined program requires the same number of credits and level of work as the current Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts (thesis option) degree programs. As a result only students who enter TU with an IB diploma or at least 24 hours of AP credit can reasonably be expected to complete both degrees in five years. All students admitted to the combined B.A./M.A. program will write a master’s thesis as part of their program of study.

With instructor’s permission, undergraduate students enrolled in the B.A./M.A. program may take 5000 level courses.

The typical student will apply for admission to the combined program in his or her junior year. (For more information, see the Graduate Bulletin.) Students interested in the combined B.A./M.A. should contact the graduate advisor or any faculty member of the Department of History to find out more about the program.
