History Programs
In addition to the History Major and the History Minor, the History Program at UMD also offers the Museum Studies Certificate. This Certificate can be combined with any major at UMD (including all four of the History major tracks) and provides the basic scholarship and functional training to equip students with the skills necessary to assume professional entry-level museum positions.
The History Program also houses UMD's African and African American Studies Minor, an interdisciplinary program designed to promote a vigorous understanding of the worldwide historical and current experience of African Americans and people of African descent.
