Overview
History - United States PhD degree is offered at Mississippi State University.
Key facts:
Although one C grade may be included in a graduate program, the History Department views C grades as evidence of unsatisfactory work. A student who earns a second C grade will be dismissed from the program. Students earning one grade of D or F will also be dismissed from the program. A candidate for degree must have achieved a B average by the end of the coursework.
The Diversity Certificate Program seeks to teach workplace success by providing the multi-cultural knowledge and skills necessary to navigate among a diverse workforce. At the heart of this post-baccalaureate program is the demand that students learn and think critically about race, race relations, ethnicity, social class and inequality, religion, and gender. This requirement will produce employees who have the necessary sensitivity and understanding to accept important leadership challenges and to advance themselves and their workplace.
Its methods are straightforward. Each student seeking a certificate must take at least one of two courses from each of four distinct fields: History, Sociology, Gender Studies and African American Studies. Students are free to take more than the minimum number of courses; however, the program an intense immersion in one course from each area will enhance understanding sufficient for business persons to achieve objectives most sensibly and expeditiously.
