Plymouth State’s master’s degree in heritage studies incorporates history, geography, literature, archaeology, historic preservation, sociology, anthropology, and folklore to help you better understand the present through the eyes of the past. In this interdisciplinary program, you’ll work with accomplished faculty to explore the countryside, delve into the landscape, and uncover the meaning of true living history.
Focus your studies in one of three concentrations:
- 5-12 Social Studies Education, which leads to certification to teach social studies in grades 5-12 after additional coursework
- Historic Preservation, which prepares you for various careers in historic preservation, heritage tourism, or heritage resource management
- Self-Designed, which can help you focus on public, private, and museum education; archaeology; historical research; or a combination of areas that meet your professional interests
Each program of study contains a core of three classes that are required of every master’s student; the rest of your coursework will be determined by your program concentration. An internship or practicum provides a capstone experience near the end of your studies. You can expect to finish your program within two years.
