Unconditional admission to departmental programs is based on a 3.25 or higher grade-point average on a minimum of 24 hours of undergraduate work in history, a preferred GRE verbal score of at least 500, and preferred six hours of undergraduate foreign language credit.
     In deciding on whether any applicant is to be admitted, the Graduate Committee will take into consideration the current size of the program, the applicant's academic record and academic potential (including the GRE and GPA), the applicant's proposed research area or topic, and the degree to which members of the graduate faculty in the department support the application.
     Unconditional admission for students seeking a History minor is based on 18 hours of undergraduate history courses with at least a 3.0 GPA.
     
 International students: All international students must score at least 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) on the TOEFL test and 45 on the TSE test. Both sets are required for admission to this department's graduate program.

Students must also apply directly to the Graduate College .
