Doctoral program

For the doctoral program in History, the basic admissions requirement is a Master's degree or equivalent in History from a recognized university. Meeting these criteria does not guarantee admission.

Applicants for both the Master's program and the doctoral program without a History background should consult with the Graduate program in History.
