Graduate Degree Programs
Our mission is to train students for careers as teachers and to prepare students for doctoral studies. We introduced a more rigorous and comprehensive curriculum in 1992. Southeastern has the only M.A. program in history in Louisiana which offers all required courses in the evening. Graduates have entered Ph.D. programs, university and school teaching jobs, and careers in law, government, business, journalism, museology, and tourism. The program offers thesis and non-thesis options and an elective 6-hour minor in Political Science or Philosophy. Teachers with the M.A. in Education may receive 12 hours credit (and possibly more) toward the M.A. in History for previous graduate Education courses (6 hrs) and approval cognate graduate History courses (6). The department holds a monthly Works-in-Progress Seminar, in which faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars present the results of ongoing research.
