Program in Historic Resources Management
The Department offers an M.A. degree in public history called the Program in Historic Resources Management. PHRM provides academic and technical training for historians who intend to pursue careers in archival management, museum curatorship, historic preservation, and other public history enterprises. Applicants for PHRM should have a B.A. in History. Those with a B.A. in other areas will be accepted if they can demonstrate a satisfactory knowledge of history.
Requirements for the PHRM (M.A.) degree:
- Complete a minimum of 36 units in upper-division and graduate course work. This must include at least two reading seminars, one graduate research seminar, and several courses relating to the student's specialty in museum curatorship, archival management, or historic preservation.
- Complete a ten-week internship that provides training under supervision and independent professional work in the candidate's specialty. Internships are arranged according to the student's interests. The internship requires writing a field report.
- Pass an oral examination. The first part of the exam will cover the field report in progress; the second part will be on the candidate's field of history (usually either American, European, or Latin American), together with the student's PHRM field of specialty.
- Courses in the PHRM are taught by regular faculty and by adjunct professors of history who are professionals in nonacademic institutions, such as archives and museums, with outstanding achievement and expertise in their fields. PHRM students may continue on for the doctorate at UC Riverside. Admittance to the Ph.D. program will be based on their performance in the program.
For detailed requirements consult the UCR General Catalog.
