University of Maryland History Programs

The Department of History at the University of Maryland embraces the diversity of the human past with a global vision and a variety of methods of inquiry. Their fifty faculty form a community of accomplished scholars whose specialities examine cultures across the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, and whose chronologies stretch from antiquity to the late modern. Maryland’s professors also explore the history of the natural sciences, the environment, and the economy. Their students consequently benefit from a curriculum enriched by the many questions the faculty posed in the past.

The Department of History administers several forms of financial assistance for graduate students, including fellowships, teaching assistantships, graduate assistantships, research assistantships, and research grants.
