The History Department at Florida State University creates a vibrant academic setting featuring exceptional faculty, distinctive local research materials, and ample professional growth opportunities beyond lectures. As a Carnegie Research 1 Institution, we deliver comprehensive M.A. and Ph.D. programs across diverse historical disciplines. Our History Graduate Student Association hosts an annual spring conference, holds regular academic-year gatherings, and arranges social events. Their welcoming approach shines through initiatives like pairing newcomers with mentors and organizing research presentation forums. Our robust educator preparation includes courses like Teaching College History and Supervised Teaching, complemented by Preparing Future Faculty sessions. The university's Program for Instructional Excellence further enhances training through workshops, certification options, and award opportunities. Students generally progress from grading assignments to leading independent courses after completing their comprehensive examinations.
