GRADUATE PROGRAMS History 80 REGULATIONS The general regulations and requirements of Trent University for the M.A. degree apply to this graduate program. Students are normally admitted into the Program once a year for studies beginning in the following September. The History Graduate Program Committee will begin the selection process immediately following the application submission date of February 1. Applications received after this date will be accepted and considered for funding until all available positions/spaces are filled. Students must attain at least a B- (70%) in all course work to remain registered in their program. For further details, see Failed Course Policy. Entrance Requirements Applicants to the M.A. program normally will be expected to have completed a B.A. Single or Joint Major Honours Degree in History, with a minimum 80% (GPA 3.67 on the 4 point scale) average in the last ten undergraduate credits. Additional considerations: – Availability of the appropriate faculty as instructors, supervisors and committee members. – Appropriateness of the applicant’s previous education and training. – Feasibility of the applicant’s proposed course of study and project. – Availability of appropriate academic resources (library, interlibrary, online, archival, oral, etc). – Command of appropriate language/s by the applicant. PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND OPTIONS Both full-time and part-time M.A. students may choose between two program streams: • Stream One (Course-Based). Students must complete the Core Course, four additional halfcredit courses, and a Major Research Paper. The Major Research Paper will be modeled on a scholarly journal article and assessed by an external examiner. It will be approximately 60 pages long, excluding notes and bibliography. • Stream Two (Thesis-Based). Students must complete the Core Course, two additional 0.5 credit courses, and a Research Thesis. The Thesis will be modeled on a short scholarly monograph with multiple chapters and will be assessed by an external examiner. The candidate will defend the Thesis before a committee of at least three faculty members including the external. The Thesis will be approximately 120 pages in length, excluding notes and bibliography. Both the Major Research Paper and Thesis are expected to have an appropriate theoretical framework, discuss relevant historiography and make use of primary sources. A supervisor will be appointed for both the Major Research Paper and Thesis. Students will select research topics for the Major Research Paper and Thesis in consultation with their supervisor. COURSE SELECTION All students must complete the Core Course (HIST 5100 – Theory, Historiography, Methodology). Elective courses should be chosen from within the students’ declared “fields of study”. (See below). Full courses will be taught over the normal academic year (September to April). Half-courses will be taught over one semester (September to December or January to April). COMPLETION TIME Full-Time Studies. The minimum for program completion is one year (12 months). The maximum is three full years (as per University policy). While it is possible to complete both streams within one year, stream two (Thesis) may take 18 months to 2 years. Part-Time Studies. Students may pursue their M.A. degree on a part-time basis. The minimum time for completion for part-time students in both streams will be two years and the maximum time is five years.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS History 81 FINANCIAL SUPPORT Graduate Teaching Assistantships and Research Fellowships are available for all full-time students admitted to the Program. While the program will normally be completed in a calendar year, students in the Thesis stream (Stream Two) will be eligible for two consecutive years provided they are making acceptable progress on their research. In addition to bursaries and scholarship available from Trent University, students contemplating application to the Program are urged to apply for an Ontario Graduate Scholarship and/or SSHRC/ CGS Scholarship, as well as to additional external (non-university) funding agencies.
