Qualification Requirements
A bachelor's degree in History (or an equivalent).
A 3.25 GPA in all upper-division history courses taken as an undergraduate student.
The GRE is not required for admission to this program.
A Statement of Purpose (maximum of two pages) describing personal goals and objectives in seeking a graduate degree in history.
Three letters of recommendation from former professors who can address the applicant's ability to undertake graduate-level history courses.
A substantial academic writing sample between 2000 and 5000 words illustrating the applicant's ability to engage in historical research and analysis. Acceptable writing samples may include a chapter from an honors thesis, a conference paper, or a term paper.
A computer-based score of 233 (or 91 internet-based score) and paper based 577 on the Test of English as a Foreign language (TOEFL) if an applicant is from a country where English is not the official language, or if an applicant's degree is not from an accredited U.S. institution, or if an applicant did not earn a degree in a country where English is the only official language or a university where English is the only official language of instruction. Although we prefer the TOEFL, we will accept IELTS scores of 7.0.
Applicants applying to this program who have attended a college/university outside the United States must provide a course-by-course credential evaluation with GPA calculation.
Applicants who hold an undergraduate degree in History but do not have a GPA of 3.0 in all work attempted while registered as an undergraduate student, or while registered as an upper-division undergraduate student (normally based on the last sixty attempted semester hours), or a 3.25 GPA in their upper-division history courses may take up to 9 hours of graduate courses as non-degree-seeking students. To be admitted into the graduate program, however, they must earn a 3.3 GPA or higher in the graduate-level history courses they take under this status.
