*These members of the faculty of the University of North Florida are also
members ofthegraduate faculty ofthe UniversityofFlorida andparticipate
in the master's program in the University of Florida Department of History.


 The Department of History offers the following graduate
 degrees: (1) Master of Arts with fields of concentration in
 African, East Asian, Medieval, European, Latin American,
 and United States history, the history of science, and public
 history; and (2) Doctor of Philosophy with fields of concen-
 tration in Latin American, African, European, and United
 States history and the history of science.
 In addition to materials required by the Graduate School
 for admission, applicants must send directly to the History
 Departmentthe following evidence of aptitude and interest:
 (1) three recommendations from persons competent to
 evaluate their potential for graduate work; (2) an essay of
 from three to five double-spaced typewritten pages identi-
 fying their career goals and particular regional, temporal, or
 topical interests within the general field of history.
 In addition to meeting the general requirements of the
 Graduate School for graduation, candidates for all graduate
 degrees in history must have demonstrated a reading knowl-
 edge of at least one foreign language and completed one
 course in quantitative methods (ordinarily HIS 6063). The
 particular requirements for each degree are listed below.
 Master of Arts.-(1) At least 12 credits in the field of
 concentration; (2) at least 12 hours of history courses
 outside the field of concentration, including HIS 6060; (3)
 at least 6 hours in a minor outside history; (4) a thesis for
 which 6 hours in HIS 6971 are counted in the 30 minimum
 credits for the degree; or (5) for the nonthesis option, a total
 of 32 letter-graded credits, including at least one research
 seminar and a final comprehensive written and oral exami-
 nation. A research seminar is a course whose primary goal
 is the completion of a journal-length essay of publishable or
 near-publishable quality. Students will select the thesis or
 nonthesis option in consultation with their advisers.
 Doctor of Philosophy.-(1) A professional competence
 in the field of concentration designed as the major field; (2)
 a knowledge of two minor fields, one of which must be
 drawn from the approved major fields of concentration for
 the doctorate (Latin American, European, African, U.S.
 history and the history of science), and the other being
 thematic in nature and including at least 6 hours outside the
 Department; (3) completion of H IS 6060; (4) passage of a set
 of written and oral qualifying examinations testing compe-
 tence in major and additional fields as well as the student's
 knowledge of the nature of history and the historian's task;
 (5) a dissertation for which credit is given in HIS 7980.
 Students may also take an optional third area in public
 history.
 History/Law Joint Degree Program.-The Department
of History and the College of Law offer a concurrent degree
program in legal history leading to a doctoral degree in
history and a juris doctorate in law. Because the faculties
of history and law stress interdisciplinary training, students
admitted to the joint degree program will be allowed to
count a significant number of hours toward both degrees.
Application to the two programs must be simu taneous, and
the applicants must be accepted by both the Graduate
School and the College of Law. Normally, students will
complete the course and examination requirements of both
degrees in four years. The program offers students work in
the legal and constitutional history of the United States
(especially the South), England, Europe, and Latin America.
Students may begin their first year of work in either history
or law, but they must complete the first year of law school
within one year and they must do so within the first two
years of admission to the joint degree program.

tor, Department of History, 4131 Turlington Hall.
