PhD in History

FIU's PhD in Atlantic History is described as the first and longest-running doctoral program of its kind in the nation. It gives students solid grounding in Atlantic world history from the pre-colonial period to the modern era. Doctoral students can specialize in Europe, the United States, Africa or Latin America, and they study the exchange of people, technology and ideas across the Atlantic. The department works alongside related programs in the Green School of International and Public Affairs. The page reports an average time to degree well below the national average. Classes begin in the fall, and applications are due on December 1. The department notes that tuition and fee details are published on its page. Students interested in the doctorate should plan to submit materials before the stated deadline, and many arrive after completing a master's degree in the same department.
