Welcome to the University of Washington's History Graduate Program. We specialize in educating future historians who contribute to academic knowledge while connecting with wider audiences. Our program hosts over 50 MA and PhD candidates across diverse historical disciplines, supported by faculty with extensive expertise. We encourage cross-disciplinary and comparative historical methods, enabling students to collaborate with professors across multiple departments and affiliated UW programs. Both faculty and students actively participate in digital history initiatives that enhance research, education, and public engagement with historical scholarship.
For those pursuing comparative historical studies, we offer four specialized sub-fields. These areas help students contextualize their specific research within broader historical frameworks.
