Advising
All new students planning to enroll full or part-time must meet with the graduate coordinator to be advised before initial registration. Thereafter, students should meet with the graduate coordinator on a regular basis. The graduate coordinator will make every effort to schedule graduate courses two years in advance in order to help students plan their programs of study. Customarily two proseminar-seminar sequences are offered each year. History 6001 normally is taught in the fall semester only. All 6000-level courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening.
Transfer Credits
Students who have done graduate work in history at another university may petition to have up to 12 hours accepted for credit toward the M.A. or M.A.H.T. degree at the University of New Orleans. Approval is at the discretion of the history department.
Thesis
Students should begin thinking about a thesis topic early in their studies. Often a thesis topic develops out of a topic addressed in a seminar paper. Students should consult the graduate coordinator regarding the selection of a thesis director. The thesis director must approve of the student’s research plans in the project’s earliest stages. In addition to the thesis director, the thesis committee includes two other faculty members. The committee must be determined at the time a student files for candidacy. For more information see the department’s History M.A. Handbook.
