Graduate Studies

Award-winning and internationally recognized faculty serve graduate students in a program that provides opportunities for close mentorship and advising. With a strong commitment to research and teaching, as well as training the next generation of historians, the faculty have published extensively and are active participants in national historical organizations. Beyond teaching and research, our students and faculty are involved in numerous scholarly and outreach activities, including the Summersell Center for the Study of the South, the College of Arts and Sciences Cuba Initiative, and the Southern Historian, an annual graduate journal published in-house. The Department of History offers a vibrant intellectual community in which to engage in graduate work.
