The Public History Navigator is a consumer’s guide to public history programs designed to help students prepare for, select, and succeed in a graduate public history program. Over time, as resources, staffing, and institutional priorities change, an institution’s program’s strengths may change. Please note that colleges and universities define their public history offerings in different ways and there is no single standard for what constitutes at “public history program.” Editors of this guide simply include institutions that offer elements of a program. Recognizing that each program has its own goals, resources, and needs, the NCPH’s best practices documents highlight some of the core elements to which every program can aspire. Information collected for the guide also will enable NCPH to provide more regular statistics about the profession. In addition, NCPH intends this resource to be useful for museums and other public history institutions, government agencies, pre-collegiate schools, businesses, and community groups wanting to identify potential partners in their geographical area. It is meant to be a starting point for comparing programs. It offers basic information, in a standardized format, about the growing number of public history programs for graduate and undergraduate students.
