历史哲学博士

The Graduate Committees of the History Departments at Akron and KSU will consider an applicant for admission if a person has a Masters degree in history or the equivalent and a grade-point average of 3.5 or better at the M.A. level from a properly accredited institution. Those holding a Master's degree should not assume, however, that they will automatically be admitted to doctoral studies. In addition to the application made to the Graduate School of either The University of Akron or Kent State University, the student must submit to the appropriate History Department the following materials: 1) A letter of intention, giving reasons for wishing to undertake doctoral study, the fields of study the student wishes to pursue, and the choice of professor to serve as Principal Faculty Mentor.
2) Three letters of recommendation from former professors.
3) A writing sample, preferably an M.A. thesis or seminar paper that demonstrates strong
writing ability and familiarity with the methods of historical research.
4) Scores on the Graduate Record Examination, General Aptitude Test. Although there
will not be an absolute cut-off, the qualifications of students with verbal aptitude scores
below 500 will have to be considered very carefully.
5) Evidence of a reading knowledge of one foreign language appropriate to a student's
research interests, or knowledge of an acceptable cognate field (such as a statistics).
Those whose native language is not English must demonstrate proficiency in English.
6) Potential students are also strongly encouraged to visit the department and to talk with
the Graduate Director, faculty members with whom they hope to study, and other
graduate students.History require an internet-based TOEFL score of 92, IELTS-6, TOEFL PBT-550
