Project Overview
With the approval by the U of M Board of Regents of a recently proposed MA program in Heritage Studies and Public History, the Teaching Heritage Collaborative will shift focus to the development of program curriculum and recruitment. In addition, the History Day partnership between the U of M and MNHS will be enriched through further development of campus engagement programs.These will include new cohorts of the Summer History Immersion Program for high school students as well as on-campus research experiences during the school year. The scope of these efforts is creating deeper engagement between MNHS staff and U of M faculty and students. History Day partnerships are creating pathways to higher education, and, in turn, connecting undergraduate students to K-12 education and shaping their future college and career paths. The new MA program will open more opportunities to cooperatively develop public history professionals to support heritage institutions into the future.
