    From the Great State of Ohio:

    Ohio University's Welcome to Ohio University online Master of Social Science has a fairly large history component.

    Is the Religious Roots of Europe program ever going to be offered again or was it a one time only deal?

    Paging Abner: "The University library provides facilities for research in a wide variety of archival sources and in periodical and newspaper collections. Special collections include the Eugene V. Debs Collection of papers and documents dealing with the American labor movement."

    One of the posts upthread had a link indicating that John F. Kennedy University, Slippery Rock University, and the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee are offering online master's degrees in history. I'm going to investigate this.

    John F. Kennedy University is now a part of National University. National University has an MA in History. I don't know if NU has always had that program, though.

    National University has offered the MA in History for quite some time, but the online MA in History from National U seems to be a relatively new development.

    I can find no online MA in History from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee University of Wisconsin but they do offer an online Certificate of Advanced Studies in Archives and Records Administration, which might be of interest to historians.

    I think so, too. The history web page didn't say when the online MA started. I even checked the HTML code to see if maybe there was some information like page creation date, etc that was commented out and only there for future coder's reference or meta data that would give me a clue. There was nothing.

    Here you go:

    Master of Arts in History

    They also have an MEd in Secondary Education in Teaching History/Social Studies, online in the "advanced track" for certified teachers, apparently hybrid in the "basic track" for students seeking certification. Master of Education in Secondary Education

    Troy University
    MA in History
    Thesis and Non-Thesis options are available. Students choose a Primary Field of either American History or European History, and a Secondary Field which is either the field just listed that they didn't choose as their Primary, or a Specific Thematic Emphasis. The Specific Thematic Emphasis "may be, for example (note that the following is by no means an exhaustive list): public history, gender history, history of science, environmental history, African American history, the American South. The thematic secondary field should not overlap with the student's primary field to a significant degree, and must include a historiography course and a 6000-level research course."

    Feature: "Candidates for admission must have a baccalaureate degree in any subject area from a regionally accredited college or university. There are no prerequisite course requirements. Students with undergraduate degrees outside of history are encouraged to inquire about the program."
