To qualify for the programme, a student must be a History major, have completed HIST 201 “Introduction to the Study of History,” and have earned a minimum of 60 undergraduate credits. At least 15 of these credits must have been earned at UMBC and no less than 9 credits need to be in 300 or 400 level History courses. Additionally, the student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 overall and 3.6 in History. Talk to your advisor if you are interested in this opportunity!

Students can apply to the accelerated B.A./M.A. programme on the UMBC Graduate School website. When they fill out the application, students will be prompted to list the names of two UMBC History professors as recommenders. Once your application is submitted, students should have their recommenders send the Graduate Programme Director a brief email of recommendation. Within no more than one month of receiving an application, the Graduate Programme Director will deliver their decision to the applicant.
