The PhD program in history offers outstanding opportunities for graduate study in North American, European, public and global-comparative history. The School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies' world-class faculty members deliver courses and individualized mentoring in a wide range of historical topics.
Moreover, doctoral history students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the numerous collaborative opportunities that exist throughout the university in ASU's many innovative schools and centers. Students pursuing the doctorate cultivate a strong background in the historical research methodology and scholarly analysis needed to develop expertise in a chosen historical subject area and receive preparation for competitive careers.
By emphasizing foundational skills in research, writing and communication, the doctoral program in history prepares students for diverse career opportunities, including leading academic institutions, private industry and the public sector.
Additional Curriculum Information In general, all credit hours must be at the level or above graduate credit for level courses must be approved in advance and documented in the student's file.
The doctoral program requires a minimum of 84 credit hours and may be completed in four to five years. Students with a master's degree may apply 30 credit hours toward the 84 required credit hours with approval of the academic unit and the Graduate College. If the student does not already have a master's degree in a related field, then the remaining 30 credit hours are made up of electives and research to reach the 84 credit hours required for the doctoral program.
Applicants are eligible to apply to the program if they have earned a bachelor's or master's degree, in any field, from a regionally accredited institution. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3. The most competitive applicants will have a GPA of 3. Additional Application Information An applicant whose native language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency regardless of current residency. Students will be allowed to count up to 6 courses from outside the department for the PhD, with the right to petition for more.
These courses might include language or other professional skills training from another department. These courses might also include thematic and other topical offerings from other departments. Before advancement to candidacy for the Ph.
A student will prepare for the Candidacy Examination in one major field and two minor fields. The major field will be the field in which the student intends to write a dissertation. There will be at least two faculty examiners in the major field.
The student is expected to develop a broad knowledge of the entire field and specialized competency in particular sub-areas, in consultation with the major examiners. If the student requests and the advisor agrees, at least one of the exam questions may engage directly the dissertation topic and the relevant literature. Given the emphasis in the discipline of history on comparative, transnational, transcultural, and interdisciplinary themes, students would be well-advised to take advantage of the three-field configuration of doctoral study to craft a program that is both coherent and wide-ranging.
To this end, students might consider developing an interdisciplinary minor field—that is, one outside the department. Such choices should be made in consultation with the advisor and must be approved by the Graduate Studies Chair.
Students interested in pursuing one of the many certificates, specializations, and minors in other departments available to Ph. Reading lists: The faculty advisor for each field must provide the student with a list of items to be mastered at least six months prior to the exam. The list should include works regarded as indispensable by the examiner, both contemporary and classic, and also should represent the student's own interests and prospective dissertation research area.
Although there may be some small variations among fields, major field lists should normally include no more than approximately items.
Minor field lists should normally include no more than approximately 50 items. Independent reading: It is strongly recommended that students have at least one readings course with each examiner. In addition, it is customary for the advisors and students to hold periodic meetings to review the literature of the field, discuss major themes, and pursue possible areas of questioning.
History provides credit to the student for this purpose. However, a maximum of only 6 credit hours in is permitted. History may also be used for independent work.. In agreeing to the "Doctoral Notification of Candidacy Examination" form, faculty committee members are asserting that, to the best of their knowledge, the student is sufficiently prepared to take the examination.
After the student has arranged the writing date and scheduled a mutually acceptable date and time for the two-hour oral defense with committee members, the form is returned to the Graduate Studies Coordinator, who will be responsible for obtaining the written exam from the major field examiners and for scheduling the needed room for the oral defense. The student must be enrolled in sufficient courses to be considered full time during the semester in which the Oral Examination is held.
Written examinations will be posted on Carmen. Major field examiners should supply the Graduate Studies Coordinator with the examination questions at least five working days ahead of the date of the examination.
Examiners will be asked to submit contact information valid for the day of the examination, in the event that instructions need to be clarified or some unexpected problem arises. After completing the written exam, the student should distribute the questions and answers to all committee members. The written exam and the two- hour oral examinations must take place within a three-week period. If, based on evaluating the written portion, the advisor or another member of the Candidacy Examination committee sees no possibility for a satisfactory overall performance on the Candidacy Examination, the student may be advised to waive the right to take the oral portion.
The Candidacy Examination committee may not, however, deny a student the opportunity to take the oral portion. The student and faculty examiners will then determine the approximate date of the second written examination. Students must contact the director of the Center for Public History about their intent to enroll by no later than the midpoint of the semester preceding the practicum.

The annual two-day conference takes place in March during the spring semester. It gives rising scholars the opportunity to present their projects, receive critical feedback, and network to establish and expand their academic communities. Select conference papers are awarded cash prizes in various geographical and scholarly categories. The degree program must be completed on a full-time basis and culminates in preliminary examinations, general examinations, a dissertation prospectus and a dissertation.
Students may take up to seven years to complete the History PhD. Completion of the program requires either 24 credits beyond the Master of Arts in History or 39 credits beyond the Bachelor of Arts in History. Learn more about History PhD courses.
