Public History at Florida State University
Since the late nineteen seventies, the Master’s in Historical Administration and Public History program at Florida State University has prepared historians to work in the world outside the university. FSU recognizes that public historians need specialized training to be effective in their chosen careers. Therefore, HAPH blends theory with practice, providing students with a well-rounded education in historical methods, archives management, historic sites and preservation, museum management, and oral history.

Moreover, Tallahassee offers HAPH students unique opportunities. HAPH has established relationships with local area public history institutions such as the Florida State Museum of History, the Florida State Archives, the Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation, and Mission San Luis, among many others, that provide students with internship opportunities at their doorstep. We invite you to learn more about our long tradition of training scholars in articulating history to a general audience.
