Our program is designed for students who seek the Ph.D. Although students entering without a Master's degree earn an M.A. in History in the course of their study here, we do not admit full-time students who wish only to earn a Master's degree. Applications must include a personal statement explaining your reasons for wishing to enter graduate school and outlining your scholarly interests, GRE scores, academic transcripts, letters of recommendations, ideally from faculty members with whom you have worked, and a writing sample, an undergraduate essay or thesis, a masters essay, or some other work of scholarship. The writing sample should not be more than 20 pages long.
We are often asked what we consider important in reviewing applications. First and foremost, we are looking for evidence of scholarly talent and achievement. Grades and GRE scores are, of course, helpful in locating such evidence, but they are not the only things we consider. What you say in your personal statement can be very important, and your writing sample is often the decisive factor in our decision.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to develop a capacity to read scholarly work in the language or languages required for their proposed field of study before enrolling in the Ph.D. program.
