Overview

As one of the very first schools to offer an online degree program in history, UMUC brings you nearly two decades of experience in teaching history in an online environment. Plus, if you're based in the Washington, D.C., area, you'll have myriad opportunities to find internships and part-time and full-time jobs in the field via public institutions and federal positions. Our alumni have gone on to work at such agencies as the National Archives and the National Park Service.

In the History degree curriculum at University of Maryland University College, you'll study a range of historical eras and geographical areas, including the history of China, Japan, wartime Europe, and the United States. You'll also dig into research and writing, learning how to lay the groundwork for and eventually complete a substantial, original historical research project suitable for presentation or publication.

Through your coursework, you will learn how to:

Research, interpret, and present historical knowledge

Write and speak clearly and appropriately about historical information for diverse audiences

Engage in history as a moral and ethical practice, recognizing a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives

Apply historical precedents to contemporary life and develop self-reflection
