shaboomshaboom Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi All! I'm trying to decide between two schools for my masters in History (with a concentration in Public History): UMass Boston and Northeastern. I don't know much about the reputation of the schools, or the quality of their education... If anyone knows ANYTHING about their history programs, or has any advice, please feel free to share Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riotbeard Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I know one person at UMass Boston. She is really smart with a really good project. Not sure what that says about their program, but the only person I have met, I am confident will transition into a solid PhD program. shaboomshaboom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. t Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If money is not an issue, I would probably side with Northeastern on reputation alone. I'm not sure quite how to phrase this, but why are you trying to decide between two schools knowing nothing about either their reputation or quality of education? shaboomshaboom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on working in Boston, so I want to go to school there... both schools have placements, and really focus on getting the students acquainted with the public history world in Boston, so I think it would be beneficial. Also I should specify, I know about the reputations of the schools in GENERAL, but not specifically for their history departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nescafe Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I know a fair amount about one of these Programs. Feel free to PM me if you are still considering either of them. shaboomshaboom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HistThrift Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm sure I'm less knowledgeable on this topic than others, but UMass Boston has a solid public history program -- I'd recommend it. shaboomshaboom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
