The Master of Arts (MA) in History (non-thesis) offers a 30 hour online graduate curriculum in history that gives the student valuable knowledge applicable in law, politics, and citizenship.

A master's degree in history provides a good basis for a career as a researcher for business or government agencies, preservationist or working with archival documents in libraries and museums, writing, or teaching at the college level.
