Overview
We strongly emphasize research training while also facilitating a range of opportunities for skill-building, not only through our coursework but also through a funded internship program, teaching experiences and training, and workshops.
Features
- History students are able to take advantage of Carnegie Mellon University and its diverse strengths in the sciences, public policy, technology, and the arts.
- They are also able to take advantage of a tuition exchange program, which enables them to enroll in other local universities; and more broadly, take advantage of the archival, cultural, and historical resources of Pittsburgh.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The curriculum itself is designed to foster a broad base of historical expertise, with thematic courses offered in Race, Nation, and Empire; Environment and Technology; Social and Revolutionary Movements; Labor and Work.
- These areas, which cut across national and temporal boundaries, form a common basis for graduate courses.
- Students also take intensive seminars on research and historical methods, which include funded archival research trips, in the first two years.
- Because the program is small, we also build in four electives to ensure students have a chance to take courses more tailored to their specific interests.
