Program Description

The Drew University History Department supports a program in History and Culture, a distinctive and in many ways unique course of graduate study. It is strongly interdisciplinary, bringing together faculty from history, literature, religion, philosophy, sociology, politics, economics, anthropology, music, and classics. It concentrates on the intellectual and cultural history of America and modern Europe, and it trains its students for both academic and nonacademic careers.

Special Programs or Resources

The United Methodist Archive is located on campus. We also offer an editorial base for the journals Book History, Modernism/Modernity, and The Sixties.

Financial Aid

For qualified doctoral students we offer full financial support for five years. For MA students we offer tuition scholarships of up to 100%, based on merit.

Degree Requirements

The doctorate requires 12 courses, three written comprehensive examinations, and some teaching.
