The EIU history department introduced the Historical Administration option to its Master of Arts program in 1975. Since then it has been preparing students academically and technically to serve as professionals in museums and historical agencies. Students are introduced to the problems, philosophies, ethics, and techniques of preserving, interpreting, and administering the American heritage. The HA curriculum combines the research orientation of a traditional cultural history program with an interdisciplinary approach to American material culture and includes a variety of hands-on activities. Each year classes work with various program partners on an assortment of projects. The on-campus academic year is followed by a six-month internship with an established historical institution or organization. To apply for admission, you may complete the application here, or request more information and a hard copy from the department by e-mail: dsnichols@eiu.edu, or by mail: Graduate Program Coordinator, History Department, Eastern Illinois University, 600 Lincoln Ave., Charleston, IL 62440. Applications are due by February 1 each year. Interviews are held early in March, and successful candidates are generally notified by late March. Some graduate assistantships are available each year. Prospective students invited to inrviews are given an opportunity to complete graduate assistantship applications at that time. Graduate assistants have various duties, depending on their particular assignments.
