MONROE, La. — The University of Louisiana Monroe’s online master’s program in history
was ranked no. 4 in CollegeValuesOnline.com’s list of “Top 16 Value Colleges” for
an online master’s in history for 2016-17.
The ranking was based on tuition rates, customization options, research and internship
opportunities, innovative programs and the 20-year return on investment (ROI), calculated
from data provided by PayScale.com. A comparison of data concluded that ULM is one
of the best value online programs.
Other schools that made the list include University of Memphis (#6), University of
North Alabama (#9), Indiana State University (#10), Liberty University (#14), and
Western Kentucky University (#15).
“This new ranking shows how competitive and what a great value an eULM degree is,”
said Dr. Monica Bontty, graduate coordinator of ULM’s history program.
ULM is well known for its low cost and high quality education. However, being recognized
on a national level for its affordability enforces the growth in the online history
program that ULM continues to experience.
The online history program gives the student valuable knowledge that can be applied
to law, politics, and citizenship.
Graduate history programs typically contain history core classes as well as classes
covering the specifics of student’s chosen specialty. Curriculum that is common for
an online master’s degree in history are: historical methods, comparative history,
historical theory, research methods, and many others.
Students with a bachelor’s degree in a subject other than history can still enroll
in the graduate-level history program.
