CMU doctoral student Michael Carter
The Department of History’s Graduate Program encompasses a wide array of research interests, collaborations, and approaches. Through graduate-student and faculty exchanges with our partner universities (the Erasmus University of Rotterdam in the Netherlands; the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, Germany; the Autonomous University of Puebla, Mexico; and the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland) and through the activities of the Center for Transnational and Comparative History, the program provides a distinctive setting and a rich cultural community for graduate training. It provides international academic study and dialogue among graduate students and faculty from both CMU and its distinguished foreign partners. Our goal is to cultivate graduate-student and faculty research and to foster historical investigation of human experience in a transnational and comparative learning and research environment. The graduates of our program are expected to become successful university scholars and teachers, leading figures in the governmental and private sectors, and successful professionals in a host of other fields in the United States and abroad.
The Department offers a Master of Arts in History, Graduate Certificates in European, Modern, and US History, and, in consortium with our partner universities, a Joint M.A. and Joint Ph.D. in History. Funding sources include university and departmental fellowships, graduate research and teaching assistantships, and grants for research and presentation.
