The History Department at Florida State University creates a vibrant academic setting, featuring an accomplished faculty, exceptional local research materials, and diverse professional growth opportunities beyond lectures. As a Carnegie Research 1 Institution, we deliver master's and doctoral programs spanning numerous historical disciplines. Our History Graduate Student Association hosts an annual spring conference, holds regular meetings throughout the year, and arranges social gatherings. Their welcoming approach shines through initiatives like assigning mentors to new students and organizing research presentation sessions. We maintain a robust educator preparation curriculum, with offerings such as Teaching College History and Supervised Teaching courses, along with Preparing Future Faculty seminars. The university-wide Program for Instructional Excellence further enhances training through workshops, certification options, and award opportunities. Students generally progress from grading assignments to leading their own courses after passing comprehensive examinations.
