The study of history reveals the past,
enlightens the present, and influences the future. Historians seek
to understand how nations, societies and individuals have lived and
thought, and why they have behaved the way they did. Supplying the
context that informs art, ideas, institutions and events, history
illuminates all human experience.
Students of history apply the tools of critical analysis and
imaginative synthesis. Trained to examine evidence carefully and
evaluate received interpretations of the past, they construct their
own understanding of historical processes and occurrences, building
on the foundation of primary sources and the writings of other
historians.
The history graduate program offers the M.A. degree, with the option
of earning a certificate in Museum Studies, and, in a limited number
of fields, the Ph.D.

Take A Class You don't need to be a graduate student to take Tufts graduate courses. The Graduate Career Advancement Program (GCAP) was created for people who want access to superior graduate-level courses but don't need or want a graduate degree. GCAP students take the same classes as our graduate students and may enroll, for either credit or audit, in up to four undergraduate or graduate courses per semester.
