The graduate history program has a long and distinguished record, dating back nearly a century. Early on, the Department of History established a reputation for diplomatic history, and later, West Virginian and Appalachian history. Today, the West Virginia and Regional History Collection is one of the strongest of its kind, housing primary source materials for political, economic, social, cultural ,and technological history of the state and region. Areas of strength have also been developed in African history, the history of the American Civil War, and public history. The department offers graduate work in several other fields in United States, European, Latin American, and world history. In addition, unique interdepartmental partnerships and resources help you develop comparative approaches and network with professionals in the field. The department encourages research that is comparative and transnational in perspective and scope.
