Graduate education is a vital core component of our department's mission at Purdue: it helps sustain the scholars on our faculty, helps train the coming generation of professional historians, and helps refresh the undergraduate experience for the thousands of students who take our courses annually. Our department of active scholars and teachers are pursuing research in a wide range of fields, with broad regional focus on American history, European history, and global history, complemented by wide-ranging thematic coverage in the history of science, technology, and medicine, history of women and gender, human rights history, transnational history, and military history.
If you are interested in pursuing graduate education in history we have several strengths to offer you:
- A relatively small program (lots of ""face time"" with the graduate faculty)
- Exceptionally talented scholars in a wide variety of fields of study
- Streamlined procedures designed to move you expeditiously toward your degree objective
- Plenty of opportunities for hands-on teaching experience
