Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

The cooperative PhD with SIU Carbondale provides students with expertise in historical methodology and research, as well as subject-area expertise within the various fields of history. Students may concentrate in any of the fields where there is faculty expertise, including, but not limited to: African History, African American History, Ancient History, Asian History, Atlantic World History, Environmental History, European History (Ancient-Medieval-Renaissance-Early Modern-Modern), Latin American History (Colonial-Modern), Middle Eastern History, Native American History, United States History (Colonial-Antebellum-late 19th Century-20th Century), Urban History.Assistantships are sometimes available on a competitive basis. More than two years of assistantship funding is unlikely. Co-op PhD students who have achieved candidacy (ABD) are not eligible for assistantships. In order for a student to hold an assistantship at SIUE, the student must maintain a GPA of 3.0 and enroll in at least six credit hours per academic term. The student may be enrolled at SIUE only, or be enrolled at both SIUE and SIUC as long as the cumulative enrolled hours equal at least six. Cooperative PhD students will receive a tuition waiver and stipend.
