Master of Arts - History - Early American Studies

Prepare to succeed in a rapidly changing and increasingly connected world. With a Master in Arts in History from the University of West Florida, students will conduct independent research, evaluate popular claims of “historical fact,” identify social patterns and reveal the voices of people from all backgrounds.

The faculty are passionate about teaching and working with students, something students don't often find at larger institutions. University of West Florida - Pensacola also has access to a living-learning lab with the University of West Florida - Pensacola Historic Trust and the Digital Humanities Lab on campus. The trust is a non-profit direct support organization managing thirty properties in the Pensacola National Register Historic District, giving students hands-on, real-world experience.

The early American studies multidisciplinary program provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of life and society in early America in more comprehensive ways through coursework and research in various other disciplines–from anthropology to archaeology, to literature and the fine arts, and from government and political science to philosophy and religion.
