History Fanatic

Has there been any sign of activity from Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, or Florida??

Does anyone have any information on Purdue? There were two very early admission results posted, then nothing......

Any details on the Purdue acceptance today? Email from DGS/POI? Anxious to hear about this school.

Wanted to get an opinion from the group here. I'm contemplating which would be the best route as I finish my history master's. I am 55 years old now, recently took the GRE and scored very high (165) on the verbal section and decent on the quant, yet I am undecided about applying for Phd programs due to my age. Will my application be considered? If I am admitted, will there be any possibility of obtaining a decent lecturer or instructor position after completing the Phd? I realize tenure-track is likely beyond the realm of possibilities but I love to research, write, and want to teach. Debating Phd application or just applying for community college or high school positions (I do hold a teaching certificate). Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks!

I would like some advice please. I work full-time but desire to obtain an MA in history by taking one class at a time. The local university requires completion of a foreign language for an MA which will add significant time to getting the degree. I have also checked into online master's at several universities including Memphis, Western Kentucky, and Sam Houston. My question is if I decide later I would like to pursue the Ph.D, will the fact that I obtained the master's online lower my chances to pursue the Ph.D? Thanks!
