The Public History Advanced Certificate and the History MA
The Public History Advanced Certificate can be completed at the College of Staten Island as a stand-alone post-baccalaureate qualification or alongside the College’s History MA Program.
Students who complete the Public History Advanced Certificate Program by itself may subsequently choose to apply to the History MA Program at the College of Staten Island. If admitted, they will be able to complete their MA Degree by combing their existing Public History Certificate courses with four additional graduate-level history courses.
Students enrolled in the History MA Program at the College of Staten Island automatically have the option of completing both the Public History Certificate and the History MA Degree together by fulfilling a combined total of nine courses (or 36 credits), including a public history internship.
