Public History Certificate Program to be
Offered by Texas State History Department

The Department of History has just received approval to launch a Public History Certificate Program as part of its Graduate Public History focus. Dr. Jeff Mauck, director of the Public History program will begin recruiting for the certificate program this summer. The certificate is meant to provide individuals already involved in some aspect of Public History, but wishing for greater understanding of the "tools of the trade," an opportunity to undertake coursework without the need to pursue a full Master's degree. The fifteen-hour program targets local and regional government professionals, docents and administrators at museums and libraries, administrators and professional-technical staff at corporations and institutions, and other interested parties. Since its establishment over eight years ago, the Public History program has been successful in placing its graduate in public and private positions in the museum, corporate, and state and local government sectors. The certificate program will increase the Public History program's visibility and expand opportunities for students. For further information regarding the Public History Certificate, which will be offered beginning Fall 2006, please contact Dr. Jeff Mauck, jm81@txstate.edu or 512-245-2142.
