Overview
Every year we admit 10-12 promising students from a large pool of highly selective applicants. Our small cohort size allows more individual work with faculty than most graduate programs in the United States and also enables funding in one form or another available to members of each cohort.
Key Features
- Our History graduate students at Stanford University may specialize in 14 distinct subfields: Africa, Britain, Early Modern Europe, East Asia, Eastern Europe/Russia, History of Science, Medicine and Technology, Jewish History, Latin America, Medieval Europe, Modern Europe, Ottoman Empire and Middle East, South Asia (not accepting applications for AY 2021-22), Transnational, International, and Global History, and United States. Explore each field and their affiliates .
Programme Structure
- The department expects most graduate students to spend no less than four and no more than six years completing the work for the Ph.D. degree.
- Individual students' time to degree will vary with the strength of their undergraduate preparation as well as with the particular language and research requirements of their respective Major fields.
