About the course
We know that you have unique interests, goals and talents. We?ve tailored our program to reflect these diverse needs, offering three programs of study and a variety of experience-based opportunities. Our program is designed to be completed in two academic years, with a part-time option of study available to working adults. Programs of study include an MA with Thesis, MA without Thesis, and a Public History track. At this time we are indefinitely suspending the Museum Studies track. We welcome applications from students interested in Cultural Resources Management, Historical Preservation, general Public History, Liberal Arts, teachers seeking to earn a content degree, and those interested in completing a thesis. Nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills and just an hour away from Denver, Fort Collins is home to the best of both worlds. There are over 300 miles of bike trails in the city, over 300 sunny days each year, and an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities like mountain biking, rock climbing, and hiking. Fort Collins is consistently rated as one of the country?s most desirable places to live. There are many different ways to engage in graduate study in History at Colorado State University. The two main specializations are Liberal Arts and Public History. Within those specializations, there are several plans to meet different students' needs.
