历史哲学博士-美国

我们博士课程的学生在19世纪，20世纪和现在的21世纪接受了美国史学的广泛培训。他们还有很多机会在跨国和主题领域工作，包括非裔美国人历史，外交史，环境史，知识史，法律史，政治史和宗教史以及资本主义，性别和性行为，大众文化史，种族和种族主义以及科学，医学和技术。该系在美国和世界范围内享有很高的知名度，并为学生提供有关跨国方法的培训。研究生和教职员工定期聚会，讨论该部门非正式的美国主义研讨会中正在进行的研究工作。
Students in our doctoral program are trained broadly in the historiography of the United States in the nineteenth, twentieth, and now twenty-first centuries. They also have ample opportunities to work in transnational and thematic fields, including African American history, diplomatic history, environmental history, intellectual history, legal history, political history, and religious history as well as the history of capitalism, gender and sexuality, popular culture, race and racism, and science, medicine, and technology. The department has a strong profile in the field of U.S. and the world, and offers students training in transnational approaches. Graduate students and faculty meet regularly as a group to discuss research work in progress in the department's informal Americanist Seminar.<br><br>Doctoral students in the field of United States history typically take four semesters of classes, including survey courses in pre- and post-1865 U.S. history, followed by general exams at the end of their fourth semester. The second summer and third year is devoted to developing the dissertation research prospectus and preparing for archival work. Students generally spend their third and fourth years pursuing dissertation research, followed by one to two years of writing. Students are encouraged to complete the thesis by the end of the sixth year.
