This course is normally given in the fall semester. All students are required to take the Historiography course in their first year. This course counts for 3 of the 30 credits.
Typically, students take HIS 701 and HIS 702 in their 2 nd and 3 rd semesters in the program. The credit hours from these courses are included in the total required.
The comprehensive examination for the M.A. degree in history is an oral examination in two fields that will normally not exceed two hours. Although the exam is in two fields, all members of the advisory committee will participate. Students selecting the thesis examination should expect questioning on the thesis as well as their fields during the examination. For such students the comprehensive exam also will act as a thesis defense. For a list of fields, see below.
Students may, if they wish, write an M.A. thesis. Students who elect this option should consult with their advisor. Any student writing a thesis should register for 6 credit hours of HIS 810, which count toward the 30 required credit hours.
Students must apply for graduation in their penultimate semester (i.e. fall semester for spring semester graduation).
Upon admission to the master’s program in history, the student is assigned a provisional major advisor. An advisory committee of three, including the major advisor and a faculty member representing the student’s secondary field, must be formed no later than the student’s second semester in the program. There are then two options for completing the masters. One requires 30 credit hours of coursework and an exam. The other requires 24 credit hours of coursework, a master’s thesis (6 thesis credit hours), and an exam. In the case of both options, one member of the committee may be from a cognate discipline, but this is not required. It is the responsibility of the student and the advisor to form the committee and to notify the DGS of its composition. The major advisor chairs the advisory committee and oversees the student’s course of study and progress in the program. The advisory committee also administers the oral comprehensive exam that is given in the case of either option. In the case of the second (thesis) option, the advisory committee and the thesis committee are usually, but not necessarily, composed of the same faculty members.

With a program and faculty that are recognized regionally, nationally, and internationally, the history department at the University of Miami is dedicated to producing Ph.D.s of the highest quality. Our selective program offers close, individualized training for the next generation of teachers and researchers who will shape and lead the historical profession. While we have particular strengths in the histories of Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, and the United States, our faculty shares interests that cut across geographies: gender and sexuality; religion; race and ethnicity; law; and economy, among others. Additionally, we have a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity, as we actively maintain bridges to other departments, programs, and centers at the University of Miami. Our graduate students are encouraged to take advantage of these dynamic scholarly connections as they cultivate their own intellectual pursuits.
We are looking for applicants with a record of outstanding academic achievement and evidence of potential success in graduate studies, attributes which can be measured in various ways such as grades, recommendations, written work, and test scores. Students with a master’s from an accredited institution may apply for admission to the doctoral program. Students with a bachelor’s degree only and with very strong credentials may be admitted into the doctoral program. Applicants must meet the admissions requirements set by both the graduate school, which are listed in its materials, and the department of history.
Because one of the strengths of our program is a close working relationship between faculty members and students, we cannot always accept qualified applicants when no one in the department can provide the guidance they need in their area of interest. Applicants should explore the listing of faculty on our website and contact the DGS or relevant faculty members if they have any questions.
The complete application contains:
Students admitted at the master’s level who are performing well in their studies are encouraged to proceed to Ph.D. status. Advisors who believe that a student should be admitted to the Ph.D. program, and have the consent of the student, inform the DGS of this desire early in the spring semester and at least before the annual departmental meeting reviewing graduate students’ progress. The request is then reviewed by the department at its annual meeting for recommendation to the graduate committee. Students who move from the M.A. to the Ph.D. program are eligible for the same number of years’ aid as students entering the Ph.D. program directly from the B.A., minus the years of aid they have already received. For course requirements, see below.

The required credit hours of coursework are only the formal minimum. Although course work is necessary preparation for the comprehensive examination, students are examined on the mastery of fields of knowledge rather than courses. The number of courses taken depends on the student’s background, choice of fields, nature of related work, language skills, etc. Courses should be selected only after consultation with the Major Advisor.
This course is normally given in the fall semester. All students are required to take the Historiography course in their first year. The credit hours from this course are included in the total required.
Typically, students take HIS 701 and HIS 702 in their 2 nd and 3 rd semesters in the program. The credit hours from these courses are included in the total required.
Typically, students take HIS 762 in their forth semester in the program. The credit hours from this course are included in the total required.
Typically, students take HIS 722 in their 5 th semester in the program. The credit hours from this course are included in the total required.
Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge in at least one foreign language. Reading knowledge in additional languages may be required by the major advisor.
The comprehensive examination for Ph.D. candidates consists of written and oral examinations in three fields. All doctoral students are expected to take their comprehensive exams no later than their 6 th semester in the program.
Following the completion of course credit hours, students will need to take sufficient dissertation research credit hours (HIS 830 if before the comprehensive examination has been passed; HIS 840 after passage of the comprehensive examination) to reach a total of 60 credit hours beyond the B.A. in order to receive the doctorate. Graduate School rules require that students take a minimum of 12 dissertation credit hours. Students who enter the Ph.D. program with an M.A. from another university or from another program at the University of Miami receive 30 credit hours towards the 60 credit hour requirement.
For requirements relating to the dissertation, see below.
As indicated, the number of required course credit hours varies depending on the student’s previous graduate work, but all students must reach a total of 60 credit hours beyond the B.A.
Upon admission to the program, the student is assigned a provisional major advisor. As noted above, students should then concur or select a different advisor by the beginning of the second semester in the program. An advisory committee of four or five, including the major advisor and faculty members representing the second and third fields, must be formed no later than the student’s third semester in the program. It is the responsibility of the student and the advisor to form this committee and notify the DGS of its composition. The major advisor chairs the advisory committee and oversees the student’s course of study and progress in the program. The advisory committee will also administer the oral and written comprehensive examinations. Students may change advisor and other committee members throughout the program provided that the faculty member(s) selected agree(s).
All incompletes from the fall semester must be made up by the official end of the following spring semester. All incompletes from the spring semester must be made up before the official start of the subsequent fall semester. No student will be allowed to proceed to exams until all incompletes have been made up.
Reading knowledge of at least one foreign language is required. More than one foreign language may be required if the major advisor deems it necessary.
It is the responsibility of the student and major advisor to organize the comprehensive examinations. Students may take them at any time of the year that classes are in session. Arrangements for the exams, including selection of their dates and a final list of committee members, should be made by the end of the first month of the semester in question, with notification to the Department Chair and DGS.
The student takes the written part of the examinations in three history fields, which are normally administered over a period of two successive weeks. The portion for each field is four hours in duration. Only after the advisory committee deems that the student has successfully passed the written portions for each field is the student permitted to take the oral part of the examination.
The oral section covers the three history fields and is approximately two hours in duration. The prospectus may form part of the discussion, but the examination will focus on coverage of the fields. The committee consists of at least three faculty members.
The student advances to candidate status after passing the comprehensive examinations and submitting an acceptable dissertation prospectus.
Students who have not already received a master’s degree from the University of Miami will be awarded an M.A. upon successful completion of their doctoral comprehensive exams.
After passing the examinations, students form a dissertation committee. This may be the original advisory committee, but it may also be revised to meet the needs of the dissertation work. The students, in consultation with the Major Advisor, put forward the names of individuals suggested to serve on the dissertation committee. The committee must be comprised of at least three members within the department and one outside the department. The committee is then approved and appointed by the dean of the graduate school.
The dissertation must make a significant contribution to the candidate’s field of specialization. It must meet the highest standards of research, substance, and form, and demonstrate an ability to conduct and report independent and original scholarly investigation.
The student must apply for graduation in his or her penultimate semester (i.e. fall for spring semester).
Upon completion of the dissertation and its tentative approval by the dissertation committee, the student takes a final oral examination that is a “defense” of the dissertation and that lasts for approximately two hours. It is open to the university community. Following the defense of the dissertation, the dissertation committee will render its decision to accept or reject the dissertation. Approval of the dissertation must be indicated by the signature of all members of the dissertation committee.
Chronological/Geographical fields:
Topical Fields. These must cover either two of the geographic or two of the temporal fields listed above.:
Students may create their own fields in consultation with their advisory committee. The student opting for this approach must file a plan of study listing relevant courses, the faculty member(s) involved, and the rationale. To pursue the individualized concentration, the student must obtain written approval of the plan by the major advisor, DGS, and the Department Chair.
The plan and signed approvals are placed in the student’s file. With rare exceptions, a customized field may not be the major field of study.

For courses not listed as fulfilling requirements for the concentration, the student should reach out to the professor to obtain the following confirmation to get the course approved:
1. at least 50% content of the course focuses on the Caribbean region
2. that the student’s papers for the class and/or the final project should focus on Caribbean studies.
Guidelines for one-time approval of a course with less than 50% of Caribbean content:
If you are taking this course to meet the Caribbean Concentration requirements, you will need to supplement the readings for the course in consultation with the departmental Caribbean Concentration representative and your advisor so that it meets the reading requirement of 50% content in Caribbean studies (i.e. the additional readings include at least one Caribbean focused reading for 7 weeks or more of the course). Your final project will also need to meet the requirement by focusing on a topic in the field of Caribbean Studies.
Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge in at least one foreign language. Reading knowledge in additional languages may be required by the major advisor. For more information on fulfilling language requirements, see below.
As indicated, the number of required course credit hours varies depending on the student’s previous graduate work, but all students must reach a total of 60 credit hours beyond the B.A.
Graduate concentration in medieval and early modern studies.
The Medieval and Early Modern Studies Concentration is an interdisciplinary concentration to be earned in conjunction with the individual Ph.D. requirements for the departments of English, History, and Modern Languages and Literatures (Romance Studies, Spanish, and French). Graduate students will continue to be housed in any one of the three departments and must fulfill the requirements of their discipline. To qualify for the Concentration, students must successfully complete a minimum of two courses (6 credit hours) in medieval and/or early modern studies in one or both of the other two departments, substituting for courses within their department; and a minimum of two courses (6 credit hours) in medieval and/or early modern studies within their home department. Thus, for example, a student whose home department is History would need to take two courses in medieval and/or early modern studies in History and then either two courses in English or MLL or one course in English and one course in MLL. A list of courses for the academic year is posted regularly on the website of the Center for the Humanities .
The major goals of the Ph.D. in History are 1) to ground students in historical knowledge and scholarship at the most sophisticated level; 2) to provide each with the skills necessary to cultivate an area of specialization and an original research agenda; 3) to train students for teaching at the college/university level; and 4) to prepare graduates to obtain appropriate employment.

By russell s. baxter | aug 20, 2024.
The days of a punishing ground attack and a sturdy defense were part of the early days of the Miami Dolphins, as well as many successful teams in the National Football League. However, things changed for this franchise in the early 1980s thanks to a gifted passer that is enshrined to Canton Ohio.
Dan Marino put up electric stats in his 17 seasons in South Florida. Still, the team made just one Super Bowl appearance with him at the helm. All told, Don Shula and Jimmy Johnson commandeered some of the top attacks in the league.
Of course, someone had to catch all those passes. These days, this franchise once again feature a high-flying passing attack with arguably the best player at his position in the league (along with a very talented partner). Hence, here’s a look at the Dolphins’ first 58 seasons in terms of the 20 greatest wide receivers to suit up for the organization.
When it comes to putting together this list, it's more than just who has the most catches, most receiving yards, and most touchdown grabs in the proud history of this club. Those numbers are certainly huge factors, but those numbers aren’t the sole criteria when ranking these performers.
Impact for the team, as well as the league, is also a key component. So are individual awards such as Pro Bowl invitations (which meant much more decades ago than they do today), as well as All-Pro honors. Longevity is also a major factor, although in this era of free agency there are players who certainly take advantage of the open market. Then again, as with any list that goes as deep as 20 players, there are certainly some exceptions when it comes a player’s time with a franchise.
Of course, the order here is highly subjective and makes for great conversation. In any case, this exercise should provide some great memories (or current thoughts) for fans of the ‘Fins.
20. devone bess.
The former undrafted free agent from the University of Hawaii is hardly a household name. However, that doesn’t mean that Devone Bess didn’t enjoy a productive five-year stint with the Dolphins. His five seasons with the franchise saw him combine for 321 receptions, good for 3,447 yards and a dozen scores.
Bess was third on the squad with 54 catches during his rookie campaign. He led the team with 76 catches in 2009, his second year in South Florida, and was second on the club with a career-high 79 grabs in 2010. That season, he also set personal bests in receiving yards (820) and TD catches (5). It may surprise some that Bess ranks ninth in franchise annals with 321 receptions. He also contributed heavily on punt returns.
He goes somewhat unnoticed when it comes to productive wide receivers for this franchise, However, during his four-year stay with the franchise, Kenny Stills was quite productive. The former University of Oklahoma product began his career with the Saints in 2013, but was dealt to Miami two years later.
While the talented performer had his ups and downs with consistency with the ‘Fins, he certainly knew his way to the end zone. In 63 regular-season contests, he caught 164 passes, good for 2,566 yards and 24 touchdowns. He was part of a playoff team with Miami in 2016, catching five passes for 82 yards in a loss at Pittsburgh. Stills was traded to the Houston Texans in 2019, but finished his career with the Saints.
A fifth-round draft choice of the Jets in 1989, Tony Martin would enjoy two different stints with Miami. From 1990-93, he totaled 109 receptions for 1,722 yards and nine scores. After stints with San Diego and the Atlanta, he returned in 1999 and totaled 93 catches for 1,430 yards and five TDs in two seasons.
Do the math and Martin’s days with the ‘Fins added up to 202 grabs for 3,152 yards and 14 trips to the end zone. Meanwhile, four of his six campaigns with the franchise resulted in postseason appearances. Ironically, he was part of the 1994 Chargers that lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX, and also played for the 1998 Falcons, who fell to the Broncos in Super Bowl XXXIII. Both games were played in South Florida.
He is currently getting ready to begin his eighth season as a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes’ coaching staff. Back in 2009, wide receiver Brian Hartline was a fourth-round pick of the Miami Dolphins. He would suit up for a half-dozen seasons with the ‘Fins, and ranks 10th in franchise history with 298 receptions.
While Hartline only reached the end zone 12 times during his stint with the club, he would lead the team in catches and receiving yards in both 2012 and ’13. Over that span, he combined for 150 grabs, good for 2,089 yards and five scores. The 6’2, 180-pound performer was a 1,000-yard receiver in each of those aforementioned seasons. Hartline’s NFL career ended with a one-year stint with the Browns in 2015.
He was an undrafted free agent who made an impact with this franchise until injuries became a factor. Former Winston-Salem State wide receiver Oronde Gadsden had impressive size at 6’2 and 215 pounds. During his first four NFL campaigns, the imposing wideout showed that he knew his way to the end zone.
Gadsden missed only a pair of contests those first four years, snaring a combined 202 passes for 2,976 yards and 22 touchdowns. The Dolphins, under the command of Jimmy Johnson and Dave Wannstedt, respectively, reached the postseason in each of those campaigns. Gadsden totaled 23 catches for 288 yards and two TDs in seven postseason contests, but missed a combined 20 games his final two years.
He certainly made his way around the National Football League during an impressive 13-year career. Originally a fourth-round draft choice of the Denver Broncos in 2006, talented Brandon Marshall played for six different teams. His career resume reads 970 receptions, good for 12,351 yards and 83 scores.
After four seasons in the Mile High City, Marshall was dealt to the Dolphins for a pair of second-round picks in 2010 and ’11. He spent two seasons in South Florida, playing and starting in 30 games. He totaled 167 grabs for 2,228 yards and nine touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2011. The former Central Florida product amassed 86 and 81 receptions, respectively, during his two-year stay with the franchise.
He began his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he quickly emerged as one of the top deep threats in the league. Former Ole Miss standout Mike Wallace was a third-round pick in 2009. In four seasons with Mike Tomlin’s club, he caught 235 passes for 4,042 yards (17.3 average) and 32 TDs.
In 2013, he inked a five-year, $60 million deal with the Dolphins. In a text at the time to NFL.com’s Albert Breer, Wallace stated “Just ready to start this next chapter in my life…” He wound up playing only two seasons with Miami, starting all 32 games from 2013-14. He finished with 140 receptions for 1,792 yards (12.8 average) and 15 TDs. The big plays were few and far between. In 2015, he was dealt to Minnesota.
A first-round pick by the Dolphins in 2015, former University of Louisville wideout DeVante Parker spent his final two seasons in Foxborough. He would eventually ink a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he had a change of heart and decided to retire in May 2024 .
As for his tenure in South Florida, the 14th overall selection in ’15 played only full season with the club in seven campaigns with Miami. He did lead the Fins in receptions in 2019 (72) and 2020 (63). The former year was his best as a pro. Along with those catches, Parker totaled a team-best 1,202 receiving yards (16.7 average), and led the team with nine touchdowns. His 338 grabs rank eighth in Dolphins’ annals.
He was a third-round pick by the organization in 1976. New Mexico State product Duriel Harris spent a total of nine seasons with the Dolphins. He ranks 12th in club history with 269 catches. Those grabs added up to 4,534 yards—an impressive 16.9 yards per reception. He finished with just 18 touchdown catches.
Harris also holds another small chapter in franchise history, although not for the right reasons. In a 1981 Monday night game vs. the Eagles at the Orange Bowl, he caught a 17-yard TD pass from Don Strock in the fourth quarter. He celebrated with an elaborate spike, but injured his knee in the process. Harris’s best season came that year, when he finished with team-highs in catches (53) and receiving yards (911).
It arguably started with the selection of Julio Jones by the Atlanta Falcons. He was the sixth overall player drafted in 2011. The University of Alabama has had eight wide receivers chosen in the first round since ’11, including a pair in 2021. That year, the Miami Dolphins opted for Jaylen Waddle with the sixth pick.
Obviously, the former Crimson Tide standout has enjoyed a very solid start to his career. In his debut campaign, he set a new rookie record with 104 receptions (broken by the Rams’ Puka Nacua in 2023). In three years in South Florida, Waddle has totaled 251 catches for 3,385 yards and 18 touchdowns. He’s rolled up 1,000-plus receiving yards in each of his three seasons, and may be just getting warmed up.
He was the first overall pick in 1984 NFL Draft by the rival New England Patriots, and he would enjoy a long professional career with a total of four teams. Irving Fryar’s career pass-catching totals read 851 receptions for 12,785 yards and 84 scores. In 1993, he asked to be dealt to the division-rival Dolphins.
The former Cornhusker’s stint with his new team was short, but very sweet. In each of his first two seasons with Don Shula’s club, he earned a Pro Bowl invitation. In three years with the ‘Fins, he started every game—including three postseason contests. His regular-season totals read 199 catches for 3,190 and 20 TDs. His final game with the club came in a ’95 playoff loss, which was also Shula’s career finale.
He was a member of the original Dolphins, born out of expansion in 1966. He would spend 11 seasons with the club, including the early days that saw the team compile a hardly-unexpected 15-39-1 record its first four years of existence. Then came the hiring of Don Shula in 1970, and things would quickly change.
In ’66, former University of Tulsa product Howard Twilley was a 12th-round pick by the Dolphins in the AFL Draft, and a 14th-round selection by the Vikings in the NFL Draft. He opted for the former and spent 11 years with Shula’s club. Miami was a run-heavy offense, but Twilley still caught a respectable 212 passes for 3,064 yards and 23 scores. He also caught a 28-yard TD pass in the club’s Super Bowl VII victory.
He led the Miami Dolphins in receptions in four consecutive seasons, including his rookie campaign in 2014. Former LSU star Jarvis Landry was the 63rd overall selection in ’14, and in his four seasons with the franchise would not only put up impressive numbers, but earned three straight trips to the Pro Bowl.
Landry totaled 84, 110, 94, and a league-high 112 receptions, respectively, during his days in South Florida. He never missed a game in his four years with the ‘Fins. All told, his 400 catches came on 570 targets, an impressive 70.2 reception percentage. It added up to 4,038 yards and 22 scores. He’s one of only six players in franchise history with 400-plus catches. Landry was dealt to the Browns in 2018.
A second-round draft choice in 2001 from the University of Wisconsin, wideout Chris Chambers put together a solid career in six-plus seasons with the organization. He led the Dolphins in receptions three times, and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2005, but he was dealt to the Chargers during the 2007 season.
As for his days with the Dolphins, the former Badger ranks fifth in franchise history with 405 receptions. His 5,688 receiving yards are topped only by Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, and Nat Moore, respectively. He also trails only the aforementioned trio in team annals when it comes to touchdown grabs (43). His best year came in ’05, when he totaled 82 catches for 1,138 yards and 11 TDs, the latter tying a personal best.
He enjoyed a solid career in Happy Valley, and wound up as first-round draft choice of the Dolphins 31 years ago. Former Penn State standout O.J. McDuffie was the 25th overall selection in 1993, and spent all eight of his NFL seasons with Miami. The one-time Nittany Lions missed one game in his first six years.
McDuffie ranks fourth in franchise history with 415 receptions. What stood out about those first half-dozen seasons was the fact that his catches and receiving yards went up each year. The final campaign in the stretch was in 1998, when he led the entire NFL with 90 grabs. Along with those aforementioned catches, McDuffie ranks fifth in team annals in receiving yards (5,074) and sixth in TD receptions (249).
There will be some who question why a player who has only been a member of the franchise for two seasons would already rank so high on this list. Of course, Tyreek Hill is no ordinary player . He’s been a Pro Bowler in each of his eight NFL seasons, and earned All-Pro honors five times, twice with the Dolphins.
The deal to acquire Hill from the Chiefs cost Miami five draft choices. Still, his two seasons with Mike McDaniel’s club are nearly identical, and highly impressive. He totaled a team-record 119 catches in 2022, and duplicated that number this past season. He led the league in 2023 with a franchise-high 1,799 receiving yards, breaking the club record he set in ’22 (1,710). Hill led the NFL with 13 TD grabs in 2023.
He played in a total of 13 seasons with the club. That’s tied for sixth in Dolphins’ history with Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor. However, no wide receiver in the team’s storied history suited up for more campaigns than Nat Moore. He was a third-round pick in 1974, and played his entire career with the ‘Fins.
Moore ranks third in team annals with 510 receptions. Those grabs added up to 7,546 yards, and 74 of those catches resulted in touchdowns. That latter figure ranks second in club history behind Mark Clayton (81). He earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in 1977, when he caught 52 passes for 765 yards and an NFL-high 12 TD receptions. Moore totaled 23 catches for 291 yards and three scores in 14 postseason games.
He joined the club as a second-round pick from Northwestern State in 1982. Mark Duper played in only two games his rookie campaign, and did not catch a pass. He would more than make up for that over the following 10 seasons. The three-time Pro Bowler ranks second in team history with 511 receptions.
Meanwhile, Duper’s 8,869 receiving yards are the most in franchise history. He averaged an impressive 17.4 yards per catch during his 11 seasons, and his 59 TD grabs trail only Mark Clayton (81) and Nat Moore (74) in team annals. He amassed at least 1,000 receiving yards four times. In 10 postseason games with the ‘Fins, Duper caught 32 passes for 595 yards (18.6) and a franchise-record five TD receptions.
It’s a little difficult not to have a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the top spot on this list. However, keep in mind that wide receiver Paul Warfield spent only five seasons with the Miami Dolphins. Still, his amazing big-play ability and overall impact on Don Shula’s offense speaks volumes.
After six seasons with the Browns, Warfield joined the Dolphins via trade in 1970. He ranks a mere 32nd in team history with 156 catches, but he amassed 3,355 yards, a mind-boggling 21.5 yards per reception. He reached the end zone 33 times in just 60 regular-season contests with the club. Warfield earned Pro Bowl honors all five years in Miami, was named All-Pro in 1971 and ’73 and earned a pair of Super Bowl titles.
In 1983, the Miami Dolphins watched as quarterback Dan Marino slipped in the draft. The team selected him with the 27th overall pick. Seven rounds later and with the 223rd selection, the organization invested in University of Louisville wideout Mark Clayton. It was one of the wisest choices in franchise history .
As a rookie, he caught only six passes for 114 yards and one TD in 14 outings. A year later, he produced one of the great wide receiving seasons in NFL annals . He totaled 73 grabs for 1,389 yards (19.0 average), with basically one-fourth of his catches (18) going for touchdowns. In 10 seasons with Miami, he earned five Pro Bowl invitations. Clayton is the club’s all-time leader in receptions (550) and TD catches (81).

Ph.d. program overview.
The Ph.D. program in History trains students in the skills of conducting original historical research and crafting original historical arguments. In the course of their work as historians, Brown scholars draw on a wide range of methods and engage with a variety of audiences. While training emphasizes the core skills of academic research, writing, and teaching at the college and university level, the program’s goals do not end there. Many Brown Ph.D. students explore teaching and writing for different settings and prepare for a breadth of careers that value the skills that obtaining a Ph.D. in History entails.
Students are expected to complete Brown’s Ph.D. program in five to six years. As a mid-sized program, the department values and cultivates attentive and hands-on faculty who work closely with students throughout their progress towards a degree. Critically, students in an entering cohort proceed through the program together, so that discussions across fields, geographies, and chronologies are built into the Ph.D. program.
Students accepted into the History Ph.D. program who remain in good standing are guaranteed funding for six years. Ph.D. students not supported by external fellowships work typically as teaching assistants in the second, third, and fifth (and, if relevant, a portion of the sixth) years of their program. There are also opportunities to apply for conference, research, and study grants either through the History Department or the Graduate School.
The information presented here is a summary of the Ph.D. program. For a more detailed description, see the Department of History Graduate Handbook. Prospective students should also read carefully the information supplied on the website of Brown’s Graduate School.
The Program is divided into two stages:
During the first and second years, students take seminars that introduce the major historiographical questions and methodologies of various subfields and develop their research skills. They identify the three fields for their Preliminary Exams and begin preparation for the exams, which are usually taken in December of the third year. Students are expected to teach as teaching assistants in their second and third years.
History offers five types of Ph.D. courses, typically to be completed within the first three years of a student’s program:
1) Required seminars (4): "History Now" features cutting-edge historical research and writing, including that being written by History faculty members; "The Roots of History" traces the development of the historical profession, focusing on the major methodological and theoretical landmarks in that development; an advanced workshop, "Writing History," guides students through the writing of a publishable paper; a Dissertation Prospectus Seminar culminates in the student’s defense of the dissertation plan and proposal.
2) Field Seminars offer a broad overview of the historiography of particular fields (e.g., Early Modern Europe, Modern East Asia).
3) Thematic Seminars provide opportunities to explore a particular theme or methodological frame from a transnational and transtemporal perspective.
4) Special Topics Seminars focus on the historiography of a particular nation or region, historical "event," or historiographical debate. They allow for focused, close training, including in specialized skills and readings in languages other than English.
5) Independent Study courses, by arrangement with the instructor, offer students, individually or in small groups, opportunities to explore special interests in depth.
In addition, students will receive course credit for attending "The Practice of History," a series of professionalization workshops that provide guidance in grant-writing, applying for jobs, developing inclusive teaching practices, constructing effective syllabuses, etc.
Students typically take four courses per semester. Up to two graduate courses (exclusive of language courses) may be taken outside the department.
A typical schedule looks like this:

Preliminary Examinations
By the end of the first semester, students should have identified three fields (one major and two minor); these are usually subfields of the primary and secondary fields listed under Fields of Study ). These will be the areas examined in the Preliminary Examinations—three written and one oral exam—usually completed by the end of the fifth semester.
Language Requirement
Language requirements are set by the fields of study. They must be completed before the preliminary examinations are taken at the end of the fifth semester.
After the successful completion of all coursework, the language requirement, and the preliminary examinations, the student, usually during the course of the sixth semester, develops a dissertation prospectus. Once the prospectus is approved by the student’s dissertation committee, the student devotes full effort (outside of work as a Teaching Assistant) to researching and writing the dissertation.
In the sixth semester, students take the Dissertation Prospectus Seminar, which provides a collaborative structure for the process of identifying viable dissertation projects, selecting a Dissertation Committee, articulating the project in the form of a dissertation prospectus, and, when appropriate, developing grant proposals based on the prospectus. The prospectus, in roughly 15 to 20 pages, states the dissertation topic, sets it in the context of the relevant secondary historical literature, explains the significance of the study, outlines the methodology to be followed, describes the types of primary sources to be used, and provides a tentative chapter outline, a bibliography, and a research plan. During the Dissertation Prospectus Defense, usually held in May or June, the Dissertation Committee reviews the prospectus and provides suggestions and advice to the student. Once the prospectus is approved, the student proceeds to conduct research on the dissertation.
Dissertation
Dissertations can vary significantly between students and among subfields. Students should consult regularly with their advisors during the dissertation research and writing process, to report progress and to ensure agreement on expectations for the dissertation. The most basic standard for a dissertation is that it makes an original contribution to the body of relevant scholarship in its field. The doctoral dissertation should be completed within four years after the student passes the preliminary examinations.
The Dissertation Defense is conducted by the graduate advisor and other members of the Dissertation Committee. Its purpose is to provide a forum for a general discussion of the dissertation—its strengths and weaknesses as a contribution to knowledge and its future prospects. If the dissertation is approved by the Dissertation Committee, the student has completed the final requirement of the Ph.D. program and can prepare to graduate.
Candidates for the Ph.D. must normally demonstrate satisfactory performance as a Teaching Assistant in undergraduate courses at Brown, or in teaching at another institution approved by the department. A Teaching Assistant usually works as a grader and section discussion leader under the guidance of the faculty member teaching the course. Ph.D. students not supported by external fellowships typically work as Teaching Assistants in the second, third, and fifth years of their program, and one semester in their sixth year. Explanation of the rights and responsibilities of teaching assistants may be found in the Department of History Graduate Handbook.
The written exam for each individual field may consist of (1) a timed, written, closed or open book exam, (2) a long essay or series of shorter essays, or (3) a draft syllabus and one or several course lectures. (Other potential outcomes must be approved ahead of time by the DGS.) The written exam may be completed (1) when the student finishes reading for a field, leaving only the oral portion for December, or (2) immediately before the oral exam in December. The oral exam, which normally takes place in December of the third year, is two hours long and consists of all three exam committee members querying the student regarding the written exams, the field at large, and/or any materials from the exam list. For more details on the preliminary exams, see the History Graduate Student Handbook.

December : Complete oral exams
The capstone project of the Ph.D. program is the Doctoral Dissertation. The Department’s required core course sequence concludes with the Dissertation Prospectus Seminar, which students take in the sixth semester, usually after passing their Preliminary Exams.
The Dissertation Prospectus Seminar (spring semester of the third year) provides a shared structure for the process of identifying viable dissertation projects, selecting a dissertation committee, articulating the project in the form of a dissertation prospectus, and, where appropriate, developing grant proposals based on the prospectus. The dissertation committee, the selection of which is a requirement of the course, consists of a chair and at least two additional Brown faculty members.
The dissertation committee will be responsible for evaluating the student's dissertation prospectus, to be presented no later than the end of the sixth semester. This usually takes the form of a dissertation prospectus defense, which is an important moment to bring together the dissertation committee to provide input and advice on the prospectus as well as the next steps of research and writing.
After passing the preliminary exams and obtaining approval of their dissertation prospectus by the dissertation committee, Ph.D. candidates are encouraged to proceed with speed and efficiency into the research process. During the research and writing of the thesis, it is the student's responsibility to regularly provide the graduate advisor with evidence of satisfactory progress towards completion. The doctoral dissertation should be completed within four years after the student passes the preliminary exams.
The department expects each student to have a dissertation defense The defense will normally be conducted by the graduate advisor and dissertation committee members, whether in person or via video conference. If the candidate wishes, other graduate students may attend and participate in the discussion.
A Dissertation Defense form must be filled out by the student and submitted to the Department staff. This form should be filed at the same time as the submission of the penultimate version of the dissertation, on March 15 for a May graduation, or no later than one month prior to the dissertation defense date if an October or February graduation.
If the dissertation is approved by the dissertation committee, the student has completed the final requirement of the Ph.D. and is permitted to proceed with preparations for graduation. Students are permitted by the Graduate School to graduate (having fulfilled all requirements) at three points during the year: October, February, and May. Students who wish to take part in Commencement ceremonies may elect to walk in May following their graduation (or at the time of their graduation, if in May). Brown University Commencement usually takes place the Sunday before Memorial Day. There is a separate Graduate School Ceremony as well as a Department Ceremony that graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.
Molly Murphy
A UNMC College of Nursing alum has made history by becoming the first female nurse to complete the U.S. Army’s elite Ranger course.
Molly Murphy completed Ranger School in July, and her story was featured on CNN . Murphy is one of 143 women to graduate from Ranger School since 2015, when the first two women graduated from the course.
Formerly of Lexington, Nebraska, Murphy graduated from the UNMC College of Nursing-Lincoln Division in spring 2019. Now a captain in the U.S. Army, she is a pediatric intensive care unit nurse at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
“Molly is a wonderful example of the impact that our alums are making around the world,” said UNMC College of Nursing Dean Lepaine Sharp-McHenry, DNP. “Her strength and resilience are inspiring and her commitment to our country is truly commendable.”
“I had the privilege of knowing Molly as a student,” said Amy Frizzell, student services director in the UNMC College of Nursing. “Molly’s leadership skills, determination and positive demeanor set her apart from her peers. I have no doubt she’ll continue to impact the field of nursing and the Army throughout her career.”
UNMC featured Murphy in a 2018 UNMC Today story after she was invited and completed airborne school at then-Fort Benning in Georgia (now Fort Moore), a parachute training program that qualified her to jump out of airplanes. Murphy, a fourth-generation military recruit, told UNMC Today her childhood dream was to become a kindergarten teacher or a nurse and then said, “The Army doesn’t need kindergarten teachers, so I went with nursing.”
At the time, females were not allowed in combat arms slots, so Murphy focused on nursing and took pre-med courses at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, nursing classes at UNMC and served in UNL’s ROTC program.
The UNMC College of Nursing-Lincoln Division is designated by the UNL ROTC program as a U.S. Army Nursing Center of Excellence for the quality of its curriculum, students, faculty and staff, as well as its relationship with the UNL Army ROTC. Each year, the college has four slots for those wanting to be Army nurses.
After graduating in 2019, Murphy was commissioned as a second lieutenant and – as all Army doctors and nurses do – went to Brooks Army Medical Center to complete the basic Army officer leadership course.
Wow. This is incredible! What an honor to achieve! Many congrats Captain Murphy!
What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations, Captain Murphy, and thank you for your service!
This is excellent! Keep pushing in the midst of chaos.
