| The graduate program in the Department of History offers a challenging and productive course of study in American, European, and world history. The department addresses a wide variety of methods and approaches to history and a broad range of historical themes, time periods, and societies, and provides particularly fine training in American society, politics, and culture, women's history, British history, and the history of the early modern world. The graduate program prepares students for the further study of history or social science at the doctoral level and serves as a useful terminal degree program for those not intending to pursue a doctorate and for those seeking to professionalize the secondary school teaching license. |
| The strength of the department is the collective excellence of its faculty members. Many have been honored with Ball State's Outstanding Teaching, Research, Service, and Junior Faculty Awards. Along with this tradition of classroom excellence, the faculty is recognized for its scholarly achievements, as evidenced by the publication of award-winning books and articles; the winning of nationally and internationally competitive fellowships and grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Fullbright-Hays Program, and other foundations; the production of programs broadcast on National Public Radio and public television; and the offices and editorships held in several professional organizations. |
