Spaces in some specializations are limited, so students are first assessed for admittance to the MA program, and they are assessed separately outside of the department for admission into a particular area of specialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"program-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"all-ma-students-are-required-to-take\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">All MA students are required to take:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HIST 5003: History Theory and Method (0.5 credits). This course will provide students with a solid grounding in historical theory and methodology in preparation for thesis and research essay projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"in-addition-to-the-core-requirement-students-in-m-a-history-with-specialization-in-data-science-will-complete\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">In addition to the core requirement, students in M.A. History with Specialization in Data Science will complete:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0.5 credit in DATA 5000 (Data Science Seminar)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.5 credit in HIST5706 (Digital History)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.5 credit in HIST graduate seminars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.5 credit in HIST 5900 (Directed Research)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.0 credit in HIST 5908 (M.A. Research Essay in the specialization)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In certain cases, up to 0.5 credit of courses may be taken from another unit at Carleton University, at the University of Ottawa, or at another accredited institution, with the permission of the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"guidelines-for-completion-of-masters-degree\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guidelines for Completion of Master&#8217;s Degree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Full-time M.A. students are required to submit thesis proposals to the graduate supervisor in the second term. In general, students complete their course work in the first eight months (two semesters). Students in the 1-year program research and write their research essays (40-60 pages) in the following summer semester. Students in the 2-year program research, write, and defend their Master&#8217;s Thesis (120-150 pages) in their second year. The expected timelines for part-time students are different and students should consult the graduate calendar. See also the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/cu_file\/ma-handbook-2020\/\">MA Handbook<\/a> for expected timelines with the Research Essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"language-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All candidates are required to demonstrate a reading knowledge of a language other than English, the choice to depend upon the field of the candidate&#8217;s thesis or research. For a research project dealing with sources not in English, a reading knowledge of the appropriate language will be required before acceptance into the program.
