Bana81 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Are there any good distance education MA programs in History ? Even ones that require you to come down to the host university to actually write the exams ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicsCandidate Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have looked at a fair few distance programs in history; do you have a specific concentration in mind? And are you looking for an MA or a Ph.D.? I know a few schools in the U.S. have M.A.s in History online, but I think any distance options for a Ph.D. level study I've only seen offered in the U.K. So, what are the parameters you're looking for? Do you prefer it to be in the U.S., the U.K., or another place? If you're looking in the U.S., here's a list of some M.A. programs: https://www.gradschoolhub.com/best/affordable-online-masters-history/ You can also search on GradSchools.com: https://www.gradschools.com/programs/history/online. It depends on what your definition of a "good" program is, as well. A lot of these schools are good schools but I would dive into some research on whether the program is a right fit for your goals. The only ancient history programs (one of my options I looked at) were all in the U.K.; University of Wales Trinity St. David is where I'm looking to apply if I don't get into my American program because they have a distance option as well. Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bana81 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thank you so much for all this information. My area of interest is South Asian History. Will check out all these links you have sent to see if any of these online programs have a South Asian department or focus.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. t Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If you're looking to an MA as a stepping stone for a PhD, no, there are not any online-only programs that I would recommend. khigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bana81 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Does not have to be a stepping stone for a PHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
