The deadline for applications for Fall 2012 admission to the program is Friday, February 3, 2012. The Capital Campus Public History Program offers a two-year course of study leading to the Master of Arts in History with a concentration in Public History. This program requires completion of 36 units of coursework, including 9 units of supervised professional internship, with a minimum 3.0 GPA. We also offer a joint doctorate in Public Historical Studies with UC Santa Barbara. The program provides an integrated professional curriculum that includes specialized project and internship experience in one of several concentrations: archives and manuscripts, oral history, museum studies, historic preservation, business history, and general public history research and analysis. Students pursue a common course of study, gain professional experience through a series of internships, and complete a master's project or thesis within their area of program specialization. Students typically enter the M.A. program each Fall semester and take many of the same classes together. This creates a strong sense of community among the students and faculty. If you would like to contact a student directly, please send an e-mail to and request that a student contact you by e-mail or phone. In order to provide our students with the highest level of both practical experience and theoretical background, our professional seminars (Hist 282 series) are taught by experienced professionals. When possible, our professional seminars are also team taught so that students gain a wider perspective of the topic under study. Students in the program enroll in three semesters of internship. Internships generally require 8-12 hours per week per semester of on-site work. Most internships are paid. Students have held internships at the: California State Archives; Office of Historic Preservation; California State Railroad Museum; JRP Historical Consulting Services; Business History Group; and California State Museum Services among other organizations. Most students find that a Thesis Project develops out of their internship experience. Students in the CSUS program have researched and written a wide variety of Thesis Projects and Theses. Listing of these projects.
