History Master of Arts Seminar Presentations
Western Oregon University
June 5, 2009
The Western Oregon University Master of Arts in History program was approved by the Oregon University System Board of Higher Education in its meeting of February 8, 2008.
The ratification of the History proposal capped three years of design, meetings with officials, and an outside program review. In addition to the faculty and administration, student support was crucial for the approval of this program. The Department thanks all those who made this program possible. We are especially pleased with the first class of graduate students who present their papers today.
These seminar papers represent research in original and secondary historical sources. Documents in both Spanish and Latin were used for some of these papers. Although the research interpretations were by the students, history faculty collaborated with them in the discussion of sources, ideas, and style. This scholarly interaction represents the essence of our Western Oregon University graduate education.
