Does anyone know where I can get a Masters of History degree online?

Question

James

I already am a teacher at the primary level, although I am certified at the secondary level for history. I have an undergrad in history and a master's in education. I want the master's in history for my +45, a nice raise, and so that I can get a job not at a University but at a local community college, I prefer being somewhere where I can teach not just do research. I might eventually get my PHd in History but for that I will actually attend school. I just don't have time right now to go to school and am looking for a self-paced online program that I can do.

Answer 1

Why do you want a masters of history online?  Are you planning on teaching High School history or at the college level?

I ask this because most colleges hire Phd's in history because there are alot of Phds in History right now.  I have a history degree as well and know some akkadian, latin, greek, a minor in anthroplogy.  I am even hesitant to get a history degree because in the end you need to find a job.

Seriously consider what you are going to be able to do with that degree.  Any number of places will sell you a masters degree and you will only find that it will get you in 20k of debt and no where.

Most people get a  PHd in history ad then end up being an assistant prof. at 4-5 JC's or universities and hope (I mean pray) to get a tenureship somewhere.  I know some prof.'s 56 yrs old without tenureships and they have Phd's.  Asistant prof's are part time prof's.

Seriously consider this option.

Try the University's in your State.  I live in Ohio, and Cleveland State offers a few Master degrees online.  You just got to make sure its a real school and not these online scams.
