Graduate Program in History

Consistently ranked among the top ten programs in the United States, our program offers graduate training in a wide array of fields.  Please explore our web site for detailed information about our faculty and programs of study.  Also, please feel free to get in touch directly with faculty who teach in your areas of interest to find out more about individual programs.

Your application will serve both for admission to our graduate program and for financial support. Most financial support is awarded on an annual or semi-annual basis in the form of fellowships, teaching assistantships, and project assistantships. While we can offer only a limited number of multi-year fellowship packages, most of our continuing students are funded, and we will work with you closely to help you find sources of support during your tenure here. We also encourage you to apply for national grants (e.g., Jacob Javits) and, if appropriate, for the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships that are offered by many of the foreign area studies programs at UW-Madison.  These offer some of the best sources of support, and our students have been very successful in such competitions.  Most fellowships, teaching assistantships, and project assistantships include tuition, health insurance, and a monthly stipend.

 For detailed information about our graduate program, see the 2006-2007 edition of the Graduate Handbook (pdf).
