Question by mike2571987: The History of Las Vegas and a Masters Program/PHD?
I am currently looking into my Masters and PHD in history. With the current scare in the Economy I’ve decided that this career path might be best to become a Professor of History. My question is, is there any University where the programs specialize in the US West or specifically the History of Las Vegas? I am very interested in this and always have been. I figured my study focus would be on Modern American history with a focus on the US West and Las Vegas. Therefore I assume I’d be writing my thesis on this subject.

Any input anyone might have would be appreciated!
Coach T, thanks for the quick response.

I would gather my ultimate goal would be in General US history. Even Universities in Canada have specialty departments in this, but planned on writing a thesis on the US west and Las Vegas. A close friend specializes in Labor History in 17th Century Britain, but teaches History of Western Civilizations, Irish History, and British History with his Labor History course as well. I would plan to specialize in the US west, but have a broad range to be able to teach generalized US History as well.

Answer by CoachT
Any program that has a specialty in 20th Century/Modern American history should allow a study of the US West or even Las Vegas NV as a thesis subject.

Be careful you’re talking about history of Las Vegas and not sociology/anthropology of Las Vegas though.

Are you certain that job prospects in Modern American History are any stronger than is the economy? I don’t know but would expect that prospects are better for American history generalists that can teach the freshman survey courses in American History.
