| This is a four-year program where students
choose a major field in History and minor field in education
to meet all state requirements for secondary education teachers.
Areas of concentration include U.S. History, European History,
and World (non-Western) History. View the advising
documents to see the specific program course requirements.
Offical
Requirements for the BA
Graduate students may work toward a Master
of Arts in the Teaching of History (MAT), a degree that may
be combined with state requirements for certification. This
program is designed to meet the distinctive needs of both
full-time students and students with jobs, including secondary
school teachers (for whom our non-certification track may
be particularly attractive). The MAT combines most of the
traditional MA curriculum with specialized classes in teaching
methods. MAT students take many of the same courses required
of regular MA and Phd students, along with comprehensive final
examinations. Areas of concentration include U.S. History,
European History, and World (non-Western) History. View the
advising documents for
the specific program requirements, for both certification
and non-certification tracks. And before
you apply, be sure to read our Suggestions
for Writing a Successful MAT Application (in Microsoft
Word format).

An ancillary program run by UIC's College
of Education allows students with a history background to
pursue a Master of Arts in Education (MEd) with a concentration
in history. This program requires applying to the College
Education for graduate admissions. For more informatoin on
this program please view the College
of Education web site.
Official
Requirements for the MEd
Some prospective students find it useful
to take graduate History courses as a nondegree student in
preparation for applying to the MAT or Med programs. Upon
admission to the MAT or Med programs, students may apply 12
History credits taken as a nondegree student toward your graduate
degree. For more information, see the Graduate
College web site. ![](images/5x5.gif")
