Admission Requirements
Unconditional admission to the program requires the applicant to have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university, an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better on a 4.0 scale, and a composite score of at least 870 on the verbal, quantitative, and subject (History) portions of the Graduate Record Examination or a score of 370 on the Miller Analogies Test.
Conditional admission may be gained with a lower grade point average, but the GRE or the MAT score must be correspondingly higher. If the undergraduate GPA is between 2.25 and 4.0, the GRE score must be 935 or the MAT score 383. If the GPA is between 2.0 and 2.24, the GRE score must be 1000 or the MAT score 394. Applicants with less than a 2.5 undergraduate GPA must submit test scores at the time of application; applicants with a GPA of 2.5 or above may submit test scores in the first semester of attendance, but it is preferable that they submit test scores at the time of original application.
For unconditional admission, an applicant must have at least the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in History, which is a minimum of eighteen semester hours. In some instances, conditional admission may be granted prior to completion of the undergraduate course requirements, but a student must complete these courses before taking any graduate courses.
