The history graduate program emphasizes scholarship that balances specific focus with broad perspective. Faculty members inspire students to adopt a wide-ranging historical outlook, fostering an expansive comprehension of past events. During their studies, candidates acquire essential skills for pioneering research in the discipline. Dynamic academic circles within the department and university promote cross-disciplinary dialogue among faculty, peers, and guest scholars. Dedicated faculty advisors monitor each student's advancement while providing hands-on guidance for dissertation research and writing. The department's strong emphasis on career preparation helps students evolve into skilled historians and proficient educators. Medieval European history studies cover the period from late antiquity through the early Renaissance. Specialized faculty knowledge extends to medieval Japanese, Byzantine, Ottoman, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean history. Professors explore diverse subjects such as pre-modern state development, Islamic studies, Crusader history, medical practices, religious studies, and ethnic identity formation. Analytical methods encompass military, political, cultural, economic, intellectual, and social historical approaches.
