GRADUATE STUDIES MANUAL - Guide to Graduate Historical StudiesThe Department of History (DOH) at Purdue offers a wide range of coursework leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. As Big Ten departments go, ours is modest in size. As a result, we offer a great deal of flexibility to students in our program as well as close individual mentoring. The DOH comprises a diverse group of faculty members representing most of the usual subject fields from the fall of Rome through the present day. Like many other American universities in the past twenty years, Purdue has been successful in recruiting some of the best young talent in the profession, and we remain dedicated to recruiting and retaining a high quality graduate faculty. The department regularly offers classes and seminars in many aspects of the history of American history, European history, and Global history (national and transnational studies including Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East). The DOH also has close working relationships with such interdisciplinary programs in African American Studies, Women’s Studies, Asian Studies, and American Studies, where graduate students sometimes find useful courses and mentors. At any given time there are between 50 and 70 graduate students in residence; roughly half of these are Ph.D. candidates, the rest are pursuing the M.A. degree. Our graduate students come from more than 20 states coast to coast and from several foreign countries. Many come from smaller universities and liberal arts colleges, others are drawn from large universities such as Indiana, Brigham Young, Rutgers, and Wisconsin.
In recent years the majority of our graduate students have been seeking the Ph.D. as their ultimate objective. Students with a BA degree may apply for the masters program alone (with the option to apply later for doctoral work). Students with an M.A. in hand usually go directly into the doctoral program.
Financial aid is almost always required by graduate students pursuing the Ph.D. degree, and while we occasionally admit students into our programs without support this is not ideal. The bulk of our financial aid consists of Teaching Assistantships (see below). The College of Liberal Arts and the Graduate School administer a small number of fellowships which we are sometimes able to offer outstanding students.
Doctoral candidates admitted with funding (and making good progress toward their degree) can expect to have their appointments renewed for a total of 4 years. Students seeking the master’s degree typically will not be offered financial aid.
A graduate program’s real strengths can best be determined by reviewing the records of the faculty who teach there. Prospective students are urged to study the faculty roster, faculty web pages, and the course catalog to evaluate the “fit” between their own interests and the strengths of the department. Please feel free to contact us directly with your particular questions. [historygradsecretary@purdue.edu]

Courses explained
o 600 level reading seminars focus on historical literature in a particular field o 600 level research seminars focus on original research yielding article-length papers o 598 Historiography introduces all students to the nature and development of modern historical scholarship o 698 Research (for thesis option) non-classroom credits for research and writing o 590 Directed Reading, typically individual reading tutorials to cover material not offered in regular courses. (One 590 may substitute for reading seminar.) o No general language requirement, but language proficiency may be required for some fields
Fields of Study The Major Professor guides the preparation of the Major Field (called “Primary Area on the Plan of Study”). A major field covers a substantial area and/or span of time, such as United States history, Early Modern Europe, Modern Europe, or some aspect of Global history. The exact content and scope of a major field is determined by the student and his or her major professor. Ordinarily students take 15 hours of coursework in their major field in addition to 598. Each student must identify a Minor Field (also called by the Graduate School a “related area”) that lies outside the major field in time, place, or significant theme. A thematic minor (such as gender in history or the African diaspora) may include material that overlaps with the major field as long as the majority of reading is theoretical or lies outside the major area. With the approval of the major professor, a relevant minor field may be prepared outside of history.
Procedures in the MA program
Purdue’s program in history is small enough so that each student receives substantial individual attention. A significant factor in the program is the strong link between each student and her or his Major Professor. Whether or not the student writes an M.A. thesis, the advice and counsel of this experienced mentor is very important to the educational process. Upon entering the program each student meets with the Director of Graduate Education to make initial plans, but as soon as possible academic guidance is transferred to the Major Professor. The selection of a Major Professor should be completed during the student’s first year in the program. Plan of Study: Each student must file a Plan of Study with the Graduate School. This document lists all relevant coursework and identifies the Advisory Committee (3 individuals: Major and minor professors and one additional advisor). A plan of study must show credit for 598 (or equivalent), at least of 15 hours in the Major Field (“primary area”) and at least 6 hours in the Minor Field (“related area”). All candidates for the MA will show at least 33 total hours of graduate coursework (for thesis-option candidates 6 hours will be 698). Only courses with earned grades of B or better may be included on the POS. The POS must be filed before the start of the semester in which a student intends to graduate, as determined by Graduate School deadlines. Progress Toward Degree: Ordinarily the MA takes two years. Midway through their second and fourth semesters the records of full time MA candidates will be reviewed by the DOGE for evidence of progress toward the degree. Second semester candidates must have earned a GPA of 3.0 or better in at least 6 credit hours of coursework and should be registered for enough courses to bring the total for year one to at least 15 hours (at least 6 at the 600 level). To be in “good” standing fourth semester candidates must have maintained a 3.0 average in at least 24 hours of coursework and be registered for enough hours to attain 33 by the end of year two. “Good” standing is a requirement for continuation of any graduate staff appointment. After 2 semesters below GPA of 3.0 or if a student falls below the cumulative minimum credit hours the file must be reviewed by the Graduate Committee, which may find that such student is making “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory” progress toward the degree and recommend remedial action and/or termination of a graduate staff appointment. Non-traditional MA students taking courses part-time may be excused from this assessment of progress toward degree. Exams: Non-thesis candidates for the MA currently do not take a final exam. Thesis option candidates will be examined by the members of their advisory committee at an oral thesis defense, which typically is one hour in length. Students are responsible for meeting the requirements set for them in the Purdue Graduate School Bulletin, the Policies and Procedures Manual and, for thesis students, the Manual for Preparation of Graduate Thesis.
Admission Applicants for admission to the Ph.D. program in history must hold a Masters Degree in history or its equivalent (if not, see admission to the MA program above). Specifically, the applicant must submit the following:
Applicants who are completing their M.A. degree in history at Purdue University should send a letter requesting permission to enter the Ph.D. program, a new statement of purpose, and with three letters of recommendation to the Director of Graduate Education in History. This letter should indicate the Major Professor(s) with whom the student wishes to pursue the Ph.D. The DOH Graduate Committee will then review the student’s academic record and consult with the faculty members who served on the student’s M.A. Advisory Committee as well as potential possible Major Professor(s) to determine whether the applicant shall be admitted. Applicant who hold a master’s degree in another discipline may be admitted if there is sufficient evidence of proficiency in history. In such a case, the Graduate Committee will assess the applicant’s total hours in history at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, the discipline in which the M.A. was earned, and the overall academic record of the student. Link to: Apply Yourself Course and Seminar Requirements A total of 90 semester hours of graduate coursework are required for the Ph.D. degree, 30 of which may be carried forward from a qualifying MA program and at least 30 of which must be earned in residence on the West Lafayette campus. Credit for MA work outside the discipline of history may be allotted by the DOGE and the Graduate Committee. Courses explained
o 600 level reading seminars focus on historical literature in a particular field o 600 level research seminars focus on original research yielding article-length papers o 598 Historiography introduces all students to the nature and development of modern historical scholarship o 699 Research, non-classroom credits for field preparation, research, and writing o 590 Directed Reading, typically individual reading tutorials to cover material not offered in regular courses. (One 590 may substitute for a reading seminars.) PhD students typically take courses for 2 years prior to their preliminary exams. Those students who have not taken a historiography and theory course similar to History 598 will be expected to complete this course, usually in the first year. In addition, PhD students must take at least 2 research and 3 reading seminars. The additional coursework may be taken in 500-level courses or History 590 (Directed Reading). One 590 may be substituted for a reading seminar in situations where appropriate reading seminars have not been offered. History 699 (Reading and Research) may be elected as students prepare for preliminary exams. Doctoral students must enroll in at least one seminar each semester prior to taking their preliminary exams. Deviations from these guidelines may be approved by the DOH Graduate Committee in consultation with the student’s Major Professor. Ph.D. students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade index of 3.5. Students whose grade index falls below 3.5 for more than one semester or who accumulate 6 hours of “C” grades or lower may lose their staff appointments or may be terminated from the program. Any student dropped for these reasons, however, may petition the Graduate Committee to review her or his entire academic record to consider a probationary status. Language Requirement Doctoral students in history must demonstrate proficiency in at least one forgeign language. Additional languages may be required by a student’s major professor. The basic language requirement may be met in one of the following ways:
For subsequent languages required by major professor, a test of reading proficiency will be administered by the major professor or his/her designee. The Basic language requirement must be met before any PhD student may sit for prelims. Subsequent language proficiencies must be met before the dissertation advisory committee approves a dissertation prospectus. Areas of Study: The Major Field and the Minor Field(s)
The DOH grants the PhD degree in three broad areas: (a) European History, (b) Global History, and (c) United States History. Within one of these areas each student shall identify the Major Field on which he or she will be examined and in which his or her dissertation will be written. The content and extent of a major field is determined by the Major Professor and the student, usually through the adoption of an approved reading list.
In addition, students shall select at least one Minor Field. This field must be outside the broad area of the Major Field (that is, outside of a, b, or c above) and should be determined by consultation between the student and her or his Major Professor. Minor fields may be thematic (race, religion, state building) if they cross two or more of the broad areas, and they may be prepared outside the department of history with the approval of the DOGE. The Minor Field also is defined by the examining professor and the student. It may be prepared by any combination of graduate-level course work (typically 6 hours) and independent reading, with competency to be demonstrated by a preliminary exam. Students who so desire may prepare a second minor field.
Plan of Study
By the end of the first year in the Ph.D. program each student should file a draft Plan of Study listing the courses he or she proposes to take and the Major Professor and two other faculty members who have agreed to serve on the Advisory Committee. This Advisory Committee helps prepare the student and serves as the examining committee for the preliminary exams.
A final Plan of Study must be filed before the first day of the semester in which students intend to take prelims, as determined by Graduate School deadlines. The Plan of Study is reviewed by the Director of Graduate Education and then submitted to the Graduate School for approval. Students—not the graduate secretary or the DOGE—are responsible for meeting any and all requirements of the department and the Graduate School that relate to their degree programs. The student and the chair of the Preliminary Examination committee are encouraged to consult the deadlines posted by the Graduate School and maintain a checklist of requirements for the Ph.D. degree.
The Preliminary Examination
The Preliminary Examination is designed to determine the Ph.D. student’s depth and breadth of professional preparation, including knowledge and interpretation of historical sources and literature, and ability to design a course in the Major Field. It should be taken near the end of coursework (normally the fourth or fifth semester of doctoral study). Preparation for the Preliminary Examination shall be accomplished by fulfillment of coursework and independent reading.
Preliminary exams in history comprise 1) a written Major Field exam, 2) a written Minor Field exam, and 3) a final oral exam, all three to be graded by the Advisory Committee members named on the student’s Plan of Study. The exact nature of these exams is to be determined by the examining faculty in consultation with the student. These exams may be taken at any time, but all three exams must be completed inside a five week period of time.
At the conclusion of the oral segment of the Preliminary Examination, the committee shall determine whether the student has passed, failed, or partially passed the exam. If the student is found to have failed all or part of the exam, he or she will be re-examined as directed by the Advisory Committee in not less than three nor more than eight months time. Students who do not pass the second examination will be dropped from the program.
For further details see Guidelines for Administering History Prelims. (pdf document)
Length of Time Required and Allowed
PhD students are expected to complete their course work, language requirements, and preparations for the Preliminary Examination within two academic years and two summers. The remaining time shall be devoted to research and writing of the dissertation. (Under extenuating circumstances, a doctoral student may petition the DOH Graduate Committee for an extension of an additional year to fulfill requirements in preparation of the Preliminary Examination.)
The total elapsed time of a completed Ph.D. program at Purdue University from admission into the doctoral program to the completion of the Final Examination on the dissertation shall be no more than eight calendar years. Extensions of this limitation may be granted by the dean of the Graduate School and/or Graduate Council, upon recommendation and justification by the student’s Major Professor and the DOH Graduate Committee. Individuals seeking such extensions may be required to file new Plans of Study and/or retake preliminary exams.
Progress Reports
Annual progress reports shall be submitted to the DOGE by each student. This report shall be dated no later than March 1 and should include, where appropriate, information about the progress of the student in fulfilling requirements regarding grades, research, language proficiency, credit hours, seminar performance, writing of the dissertation, and related obligations. Students will be asked as well to file an “Annual Activities Report” documenting their professional development activities.
· Progress reports will be reviewed by the DOH Graduate Committee. · In cases where highly negative reports are submitted, the Graduate Committee will consult with the student and the Major Professor to determine measures for improvement. · When unsatisfactory progress persists, the DOH Graduate Committee shall make recommendations to the Department Head for improvement of the student’s performance or termination of candidacy in the program.
Doctoral Dissertation, Prospectus, and Final Examination After successful completion of the Preliminary Examination, the student will be admitted to candidacy in the Ph.D. program by the Graduate School. Each student will then engage in the research and writing of a doctoral dissertation. Upon successful completion of the Preliminary Examination, the student, in consultation with the chair of her or his Major Professor (dissertation director), shall prepare a Dissertation Prospectus to be presented to a doctoral examining committee selected by the student in consultation with her or his advisor. The prospectus shall include a discussion of the dissertation topic, the sources to be used, and any conceptual or methodological problems anticipated. The student may then defend the prospectus at a colloquium attended by members of the final doctoral examining committee and other faculty members and graduate students. Upon completion of the doctoral dissertation, the student will then defend her or his dissertation at a final examination administered by the doctoral examining committee (4 persons required). This committee may contain one member not on the permanent DOH faculty, and may include members who participate via telephone or other remote technology. Normally no student may take the oral examination in the absence of the major professor. The examination must be scheduled with the Graduate School at least two weeks in advance. PLEASE NOTE: Graduate students should also consult and conform to the Graduate Schools regulations governing the Ph.D. requirements listed in the Graduate School Bulletin and the Manual for the Preparation of Graduate Theses in force at the time of their final examination.
