The History Department at Rowan University is excited to announce the establishment of two graduate programs: the Certificate of Graduate Study (COGS) in History and the COGS in World History. These programs offer elementary and secondary school teachers an opportunity to study history on a graduate level for tenure, recertification, promotion, and personal or professional development. Students interested in earning one of these COGS will take 15 graduate level history credits (5 courses); to earn a COGS in World History, students must take 12 graduate credits on areas of the world outside of the United States. Students who are enrolled in the College of Education's Master's of Education (M.Ed) in Standards-based Practice may also pursue a COGS as part of their M.Ed.
Beginning this summer, the History Department will offer graduate courses in American, Latin American, European, Russia, Asian, African, and/or Middle Eastern history; all courses will familiarize students with relevant primary and scholarly sources as well as up to date historical interpretations and methodologies in the field. Courses will be offered in the evenings during the summer and academic year.
If you are interested in applying for a History COGS, go to the webpage of the College of Graduate & Continuing Education. The application process for both the COGS in History (G120) and COGS in World History (G121) includes a one page Statement of Objectives, transcripts, and two recommendations; GREs are NOT required. We strongly recommend that students interested in beginning the program in summer 2007 apply by April 1; students may take up to 9 credits on a pre-matriculated basis. For more information about the COGS programs, contact Dr. William Carrigan, carrigan@rowan.edu.
