Master of Arts in History
Here, you don't just study history. You choose your history.
History Isn't One Story. Yours Shouldn't Be Either. Most history programs give you a survey of everything and mastery of nothing. Norwich is different. The Master of Arts in History at Norwich University is built around the idea that the best historians aren't generalists, they're specialists who can think across boundaries, write with authority, and speak to audiences that matter.

World History. Step beyond American borders and examine the sweeping currents of global change empire, revolution, migration, conflict, and diplomacy across civilizations and centuries. The concentration for professionals who think internationally and need the historical fluency to prove it.
Public History. History doesn't only live in classrooms. It lives in museums, archives, historic preservation offices, and government agencies. This concentration prepares you to bring the past to public audiences and to build a career doing it.
Legal and Constitutional History. Trace the evolution of law, rights, and governance from the founding documents to today's courtrooms. A powerful concentration for legal professionals, government workers, and policy analysts who want to understand not just what the law says but how it got there.
