Overview

The Department of History offers a minor, Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in history.

Academics & Admissions

Undergraduate Studies

Undergraduate students of sophomore standing or above may enroll in 3000-level courses without prerequisites. However, the department strongly recommends that students complete 6 hours of lower-division history courses before enrolling in a 3000-level course. See the degree requirements under Programs.

Graduate Studies

For graduate students, in addition to meeting Graduate School requirements, prospective students will normally be expected to have an undergraduate major in history and should show evidence of a strong undergraduate record overall. The department's graduate committee will decide on admission upon evaluation of the applicant's undergraduate and other academic records, faculty recommendations, a written statement of purpose, and a writing sample.

For the Ph.D., in addition to the Graduate School requirements for the Ph.D., admission is limited to those whose scholastic record shows distinct promise of success in graduate study. The M.A. in history or its equivalent is required. At the discretion of the graduate committee, students who have obtained the M.A. in history from the University of Mississippi may be admitted to the Ph.D. program. Holders of an M.A. degree from other institutions must submit the same application materials as described for admission to the M.A. program in history for the University of Mississippi.

See the degree requirements under Programs.
