The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences offers two graduate degrees: one in History and one in Human Development Counseling. 

The College offers opportunities for personal and professional growth through graduate study in these programs. Courses are taught by faculty who are professionals in the field and dedicated teacher-scholars and teacher-practitioners who publish and present their scholarship around the world or maintain professional practices. Faculty are committed to mentoring graduate students and supporting them through their course of study and in their research projects, and work closely with students in our small, personalized programs. Courses are taught using state-of-the-art classrooms, computer labs, and dedicated spaces for clinical observation. Opportunities for hands-on research or practicums in the Springfield region and beyond are well established in both programs.
