Our graduate program has four areas of emphasis: United States,
European History,
Military & Diplomatic,
and
Comparative Border Studies.
United States
Historians of the United States at
Texas A&M cover a wide range of topics from the colonial period
through the twentieth century, but have special strengths in
political, Southern, and Western history, the history of race and
ethnicity, women and gender, and rural, immigration, business, and
labor history. Graduate students are encouraged to specialize in
one of these areas, but also to think broadly about the history of
the United States and to compare U.S. history with that of other
nations.

European History
Faculty and graduate students in
European history (medieval, early modern, and modern) specialize
in several national fields, most notably British, French, German,
and Russian history. The program blends traditional and
non-traditional approaches to political, social, cultural,
economic, and intellectual history. Research projects that cut
across geographic regions, fields, and disciplines are encouraged.

Military and Diplomatic
The Department of History provides
doctoral candidates in diplomatic and military history the
opportunity to focus on the United States, Europe, or Latin
America. Current faculty and graduate students study foreign
policy and international relations, military experience and
thought, and war and society. They are complemented by colleagues
in the department who specialize in Britain, Germany, the Soviet
Union, and the history of technology.

Comparative Border Studies
Comparative Border Studies is an
interdisciplinary program that examines shifting boundaries of
race, class, gender, religion, and politics in a variety of
international and cultural settings. It builds on the rich themes
that have long animated the study of the Atlantic World and the
Spanish Borderlands of North America—including multiculturalism,
conquest, human agency, identity formation, and environmental
diversity—but extends these approaches methodologically,
theoretically, and geographically. Students have the opportunity
to study with faculty whose collective expertise includes Asia,
Africa, Europe, Atlantic communities, the Americas, and regions
within the United States.
