The History Department reviews applications only once each year.
The Graduate School handles the intake of applications. Applicants
who wish to check on the status of a file should use the online
tracking system or contact the Graduate School, not the department. Please consult the graduate program FAQs for further information about these documents.
Application Procedures
The Graduate School online application site describes the procedures for application, including the mechanics for submission of transcripts, reporting of GRE scores, and processing of letters of recommendation. The Graduate School online application site also instructs applicants to submit supporting documents as required by the department. The History Department requires (1) a statement describing the applicant’s plans for graduate study and (2) a sample of the applicant’s written academic work. All of these materials are to be sent to the Graduate School via the online application.
Deadlines
The absolute final date for the receipt of complete applications
is January 5, 2010. The department encourages applicants to submit all materials by early December.
