Welcome to the University of Washington's History Graduate Program. We specialize in educating future historians who contribute to academic knowledge about the past while also teaching and connecting with wider audiences. Our program has over 50 students working toward MA and PhD degrees across diverse historical fields, supported by faculty with extensive expertise. We encourage interdisciplinary and comparative historical methods, allowing students to collaborate with faculty both within our department and across other UW programs. Our community actively participates in digital history initiatives that enhance research, education, and public engagement with historical scholarship.
The Ancient History concentration explores the civilizations of Greece, Rome, and the Ancient/Late Antique Near East. This area benefits from strong connections with Classics, Philosophy, Art History, Near Eastern Studies, and Comparative Religion departments. History graduate students can enroll in relevant courses from these departments to complement their studies. Thanks to a donor's support, we offer the Roseman Fellowship for incoming MA students.
