Doctor of Philosophy in History

The History Department offers a selective, mid-sized Ph.D. program that combines training in a number of geographic and chronological areas with a stress on cross- cutting comparative, thematic, and interdisciplinary study. We provide rigorous preparation in both historical scholarship and the teaching of history. And we do so within a supportive and collegial academic community--a setting in which students work with leading authorities and are encouraged to learn from one another. Doctoral candidates in History, working in close consultation with the faculty, use our flexible examination structure to shape their specific fields of inquiry, blending concentrations in particular times and places with interests that are more inter-regional and theoretical, and that connect history to other disciplines. The Department's intellectual reach is significantly amplified by strong connections, including joint faculty appointments with such other Emory Departments, Programs, and Schools as African American Studies, African Studies, Art History, the Candler School of Theology, Classics, the Graduate Division of Religion, the Institute of Liberal Arts (including American Studies), Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Law School, Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies, the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Scan and upload them through the online application. Unofficial transcripts issued by the Registrar to you (the student) are acceptable. You are required to submit one transcript from each post-secondary institution attended, present school included. International transcripts must be translated and notarized.

Please do not mail paper transcripts. If you are admitted and decide to attend Emory, then you will need to submit official copies of your transcripts before you can enroll. But for your application, the scanned, unofficial versions are all that's needed.
