Arizona State University\u2019s School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies has redefined online graduate education with its Scotland Archive Experience. This innovative hybrid program blends online learning with a hands-on study abroad component, allowing students to study into the heart of historical research in Edinburgh, Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The program was developed in partnership with the University of Edinburgh<\/strong><\/a>, aiming to eliminate the geographical limitations of online education. During the inaugural summer 2024 session, 12 Master of Arts in History students participated, combining asynchronous coursework with an intensive two-week archival immersion in Edinburgh\u2019s Old Town. The students examined Scotland\u2019s historical intersections with global events, exploring diverse topics like the Temperance movement, abolitionism, and WWII gender dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands-on Historical Research<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Scotland experience provided students with a rare opportunity to work directly with physical historical documents, such as unpublished manuscripts, personal letters, and newspapers. For many, it was their first time stepping away from digital archives and handling original historical sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Scotland study abroad trip provided an invaluable opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in historical research,\u201d said James Ayer, a participant. \u201cEngaging directly with primary sources deepened my understanding of Scottish history, enhancing both my personal and academic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants included high school history teachers, attorneys, and other professionals, showcasing the program\u2019s diverse appeal. For Jessica Barker, the trip was transformative. \u201cThe trip made me realize that I wanted to shift career paths and focus more on being a historian, doing research, or working in higher education or a museum,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making It Accessible<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility and affordability were key pillars of the program. Fifty percent of participants received partial funding, and one student fully funded their trip through scholarships. The Laura Harris Hales Graduate Student Research Scholarship Award played a significant role in easing financial burdens. Named after an alumna and author who passed away in 2022, the scholarship supports online graduate students pursuing research and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future of Graduate Education<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Program leads Katy Kole de Peralta and James Dupey envision a bright future for this initiative. \u201cThe Scotland archive experience is the future of graduate education at ASU,\u201d Dupey emphasized. \u201cIt embraces the university mission of access, academic excellence, and public service by offering a transformative educational opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans are underway to expand the program, ensuring more students benefit from this unique blend of online and on-site learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
