Master of Arts in Public History

University of Illinois at Springfield

Public History graduate education at UIS has its roots in the 1970s, when our predecessor institution Sangamon State University first offered courses in oral history, museum studies, and local history. Today, the program prides itself in a flexible curriculum, robust student funding, unparalleled internship and volunteering opportunities, a high rate of professional placements, and a rich alumni network that stretches across the country.
