The University of Miami Department of History supports a rigorous program, in which graduate students work closely with distinguished faculty to develop the skills necessary to become first-rate scholars—in traditional academic settings, non-profits, public history forums, higher education administration, government, and beyond. We offer fully funded 5-year Ph.D. packages, with benefits, full tuition remission, yearly guaranteed stipends, at least one year of fully supported research leave, as well as several summers of research funding, contingent on good academic standing. We also provide annual funding for graduate students to present at conferences and sponsor workshops on pedagogy, the job market, publishing, and other crucial topics.
