MASTER OF ARTS IN PUBLIC HISTORY
Public history is the practice of history outside academia and the classroom setting. Career opportunities for public historians are diverse and include positions in museums, historic sites, film and television, the tourism industry, and the government. Public historians make the messages or lessons of the past accessible to a broad general audience and relevant to a wide range of people. By applying their skills in the non-academic world they provide a service to the community as a whole. CCSU Master of
Arts program in Public History provides students with the academic background,
job specific skills, and hands-on experience necessary to work in a variety of
