I know that this post is pretty late to the game, and that things might have changed greatly since the last time anyone looked at the online program NU offers. I started my coursework in 2010, and I’m just finishing it now. In that time I really haven’t seen a considerable change other than a transition to a newer, and better academic portal. I hope that this helps someone else make an informed decision in the future.

Thanks so much

University of Nebraska/Kearney also has an online MA in History now. Some schools had suggested I do not need any undergrad courses in history for the grad program, but I am somewhat nervous about that.

Would it be possible for me to get a teaching job at a Community College with a MA in History from AMU?

Or, Have you found work as an adjunct professor in your area? Is your degree considered valid by local/state institutions?

1 – at the time, AMU was not regionally accredited.
2 – the cost for Norwich was prohibitive.

These items have both changed somewhat, because I believe AMU has regional accredidation and the new GI Bill would significantly reduce my out of pocket expenses @ Norwich.

Having said that, I was extremely pleased w/ Sam Houston State University. Each course was taught by a professor who had also written extensively on the topic. All three professors were easy to contact, and we carried on several spirited discussions via e-mail. While each of these was one-on-one and not in a collaborative forum with other students, I felt I learned a lot about history at the Master’s level as well as how to write book reviews.

I used SHSU to take three electives to apply with War College credit to get a Masters in National Security and Strategy, because it was the fastest way to get a Masters given my full-time military employment. I plan to re-engage to pursue the MA in Military History in the near future.

Thanks again,
