Review our History Department faculty. Any faculty member on the Kent campus can serve as your advisor. You will work with many faculty members during your time at Kent and you may choose to work with faculty in other departments at Kent State if you have an interdisciplinary focus, but your primary faculty advisor must be a History Department faculty member.
Decide why you want to attend graduate school, and what you hope to do with your degree. If you are thinking of pursuing an MA, do you hope to continue on to a PhD? Do you hope to work in a museum or archive, or teach at the High School level?
Our deadlines for admission are November 15 for Spring Admission, and Feb 1 for Fall Admission and for graduate funding.
Your process should begin about a year before you plan to begin graduate school. First, look though our department’s admissions guidelines to be sure you meet requirements. To apply to our MA program, you must have 12 undergraduate hours in the discipline of History with at least a 3.3 GPA in these courses. This cannot include classes in adjacent fields such as Art History, or classes about history taught by faculty members in other disciplines (A History of Jazz class taught by a music school faculty member would not count, for instance).
