I’ve previously done a masters in a year so I know I can handle the course load. I want to know if there are any masters in history programs that can be done in one (calendar) year or around that with three semesters (fall, spring, and summer). I would like to know about US schools, but European schools are also good. The cheaper the better, but time is the main factor I’m looking for. Public history in place of history is a good alternative. I’m not interested in 4 + 1 programs for undergraduate students, as I’ve already completed my undergrad, I want something where you can start the masters without any need of previous affiliation with the school.
It might be helpful if you mentioned what your specialty/subfield is and what kind of work you want to get into, as well as why you need to do a master’s quickly (especially since you already have one).
This degree will be in combination with my library science degree for further professional development. I would mainly be interested in American or European history or public history. The reasons I want an accelerated are personal. Money isn’t as big a consideration as time.
A quick Google search for “one-year master’s in history” yielded a couple results.
Brandeis (http://www.brandeis.edu/departments/history/grad/ma.html)
Brown (http://www.brown.edu/academics/history/graduate/master-arts-ma) - their professional track might especially apply
William & Mary (http://www.wm.edu/as/history/gradprogram/maearlyamerican/index.php)
George Washington, possibly (http://www.gwu.edu/masters-programs)
