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 traditional coursework. As a Carnegie Research 1 Institution, we deliver comprehensive graduate programs culminating in M.A. and Ph.D. degrees across multiple historical disciplines. Our History Graduate Student Association hosts an annual spring conference, holds regular meetings throughout the school year, and coordinates various social gatherings. Their welcoming environment shines through initiatives like pairing new students with mentors and organizing research presentation opportunities. We maintain a robust educator preparation curriculum, featuring classes such as Teaching College History and Supervised Teaching, complemented by Preparing Future Faculty seminars. The university-wide Program for Instructional Excellence further enhances training through workshops, certification options, and award opportunities. Graduate students typically begin as teaching assistants before progressing to independent instruction following their comprehensive examinations.
