Undergraduate Students or Future Educators
There are many ways to become an educator in Idaho. Students in the ISU College of Education can complete 20 or 30 credit endorsements in History. Endorsement courses can also be counted toward a History major or minor. We encourage undergraduate students interested in becoming History teachers to consider a double major with Education and History.
For more information, please contact Dr. Marie Stango, Director of History Education, at mariestango@isu.edu.
Graduate Students or Current Educators
The History MA program integrates traditional and interdisciplinary approaches to historical research. Students take a variety of courses in historical methods, digital history, research methodology, and professional development. An MA in History prepares students to use their training in a variety of teaching positions.
We welcome K-12 educators who wish to pursue an MA in History. We offer a flexible course schedule and the option to customize the final MA project to cater to the interests and demands of primary and secondary educators.
The MA in History can be completed in person or online and we offer teaching endorsements. Many students choose to double major in history and education.
For questions, please contact Dr. Marie Stango, Director of History Education and Director of Graduate Studies, at mariestango@isu.edu or 208-282-2379.
