The Department of History offers a PhD program centered on rigorous research within a vibrant and diverse intellectual community. While most of our students have a history degree (BA) or degrees (BA and MA), we accept students with a variety of backgrounds and interests. Admission is highly competitive. We make approximately thirty to forty offers of admission each year and aim to matriculate fifteen to twenty new PhD students. All offers include a full university fellowship for the duration of the program. In 2017-2021, a number of excellent students selected for admission were named Brenda and Earl Shapiro Scholars in History or Neubauer Family Distinguished Doctoral Fellows and received additional fellowship support over five years.
