MA in History Question

Before you choose any of these schools, know that it is very important that your school be accredited. If you earn a degree from a school that is not accredited, you have wasted time and money. There are many different types of accreditation so, do your research before choosing an online school that is more of a "diploma mill" than an actual legitimate higher-education institution.

 

If you had bothered to read through the thread, you would have noticed that all schools mentioned herein are legitimately accredited.

Thank you.

 

From the Great State of Bleeding Kansas ("Dust in the Wind")

Bleeding Kansas, Batman! Looks like the online MLS in History of Fort Hays State UAniversity just got blown away like so much dust in the wind! [Visualize picture of abolitionist John Brown with a long white flowing beard that made him look like some Old Testament patriarch with outstretched arms, Bible in one hand and gun in the other, with tornado swirling around in the background.] I was just idly surfing around to various online master's programs in history when I noted that the FHSU MLS page no longer shows a concentration in history. So I fired off an email to FHSU asking what was up with that. The MLS program kindly returned me an email stating that the Department of History of Fort Hays State University decided to concentrate on creating an MA in History. They gave me a weblink to the MA in History. Unfortunately, the web page was unclear as to whether said MA in History was to be offered via distance learning. So, I fired off a second email asking for clarification on that point. When I find the answer, I'll post y'all about the results of that email.

 

Oops! I'm amazed to see that no-one has caught this gaffe in the last three years! :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: This post should have read, "American Military University is accredited by the North Central Association and the Distance Education and Training Council" (as of 2009). Incidentally, sometime within the past year, AMU has resigned its DETC accreditation. The reason that I had mistakenly stated that they were accredited by the Southern Association is that they were originally in Southern Association territory (Manassas Park, Virginia, to be sure). But the Southern Association is not very friendly to distance learning so they escaped across the border to West Virginia (Mountain Mama, Take Me Home!) to Charles Town, West Virginia, to be sure ... not too far from Harper's Ferry. Incidentally, sometime while I was working as a volunteer at the Humane Society (08/08 to 11/11), some Civil War mag (forget whether it was Civil War Times Illustrated or America's Civil War) ran an artiucle about AMU holding an in-residence summer seminar on John Brown and Harper's Ferry (wondering if they'll ever do that again).

 

FHSU has sent me a return email stating that FHSU's MA in History is available by distance.

 

Just wanted to Mention "Wayland Baptist University." I was considering a career change and looking for a MA history program. Wayland only requires 6hrs of undergraduate work in history to enter the program. Completely online, regionally accredited, and fairly inexpensive.

 

AMU/APU has gone to 16 week classes for the most part. Can anyone recommend 8 week or less in length inexpensive graduate history classes? ;(
