Other areas of research interest are supported by individual faculty, interdepartmental, and intercampus committees. This joint Ph.D. program combines faculty and resources of the Public History program at CSU Sacramento with that of UC Santa Barbara.

Special Programs or Resources

The California State Archives, California State Library, and the Sacramento History Center offer unique opportunities for the study of local, Western and California History. The presence of many state and community agencies dealing with museums, archives, oral history, cultural resource management and historic preservation offers possibilities for stimulating internships, and the history graduate program is also able to draw upon rich materials in a number of areas of United States, European, and world history located in the CSUS Library, including the Tsakopoulos collection in Hellenic Studies and the Japanese American Archival Collection.
