The Master of Arts Program at the Department of History at UTEP is remarkable for its flexibility.  
Master of Arts students can specialize in a particular area, such as the U.S.-Mexico Border, the United States, Latin America, and Europe, or they make take courses in the wide variety of fields taught by department faculty.  Study concentrations are available in borderlands and history teaching. Thesis and non-thesis degree plans are available. (How do the plans compare?)

Students in the Master of Arts program also have the option of taking a minor in Public history.
This minor emphasizes fields such as policy planning, cultural resource management, historic
preservation, and archive and museum management. Students selecting this minor usually complete an internship that allows them to acquire experience in Public history.  For a detailed
explanation of the the different degree requirements see the Graduate Catalog link on this
page.
