M.A. in History: Advisement Manual

Welcome!

Welcome to the graduate program in history. We are pleased you have selected SUNY Cortland to pursue your graduate training, and we expect that you will find the department to be an intellectually challenging and congenial place to study.

This Graduate Advisement Manual introduces you to the History Department and the relevant policies and procedures governing the graduate program in history. Those policies are spelled out explicitly in the Graduate Catalog, which you should consult and consider binding. The Graduate Catalog (online) that is in effect when you enroll is the official document that outlines all the regulations by which you must abide. It is your responsibility to read and understand your degree requirements and program policies. Failure to do so may have an adverse effect on your progress through the program.
